Description
Not your typical Les Paul Studio, some of these early models featured solid alder bodies with maple necks, just like this gorgeous example. The slender profile neck is silky smooth & plays like a dream up & down the fretboard. The Pat No humbuckers sound magnificent & deliver warm, rich tones with sustain that seems to last for days. Professionally set up with fresh strings & low action, so it plays & sounds marvelous.
Cosmetic Condition: Used, but not abused with typical play wear for its age - various nicks, chips, dents & dings along with surface scratches. There's some finish bubbling on the front of the headstock. Overall the guitar has a great look to it with a gorgeous patina.
Neck: Slender profile maple neck with nicely aged cream binding & black side-dots. Beautiful super dark rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl dot inlays. Original frets show some wear, but have plenty of life in them. Unoriginal Schaller tuners stamped Made In W. Germany. 1 11/16" nut width; 24 3/4" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rod works fine.
Body: Solid alder body with plain maple top finished in classic Cherry Sunburst with cream binding. Stopbar tailpiece & Tune-O-Matic bridge with chrome/nickel hardware. Single-ply cream pickguard & nickel jackplate. Guitar weighs 8 lbs 7.7 oz.
