Lightweight Power with Classic Les Paul Tone

A Lightweight Powerhouse
This model features an all-mahogany body with a thinner profile and a rear belly cut, making it lighter than traditional Les Pauls. A satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish highlights the wood grain and introduces a matching headstock, a first for a Core Les Paul model.
A Guitarist’s Perspective
From the guitarist’s perspective, this instrument delivers sustain, growl, and clarity without unnecessary heft or distractions. The thin, contoured body and satin finish enhance comfort during long sessions.
The SlimTaper neck supports fast movement and expression, while PAF-inspired pickups deliver raw, dynamic tones. This guitar is a true gigging partner – lean, mean, and stage-ready.

Modern Styles: Lightweight design offers comfort during energetic performances and complex riffing.
Studio & Practice: Straightforward controls and reliable tuning hardware make it ideal for sessions and home use.
