The maple cap adds brightness and clarity, enhancing the warmth and resonance of the mahogany body for that signature Les Paul sound.
SlimTaper™ Profile and Modern Contoured Heel:
The guitar’s mahogany neck is shaped with a SlimTaper™ profile, providing a fast, comfortable playing experience.

This combination allows for better overall playability and a smoother feel when navigating the entire fretboard.
Bound Ebony Fretboard with Acrylic Trapezoid Inlays:
The bound ebony fretboard provides a sleek, smooth surface for your fingers to glide across. The acrylic trapezoid inlays are visually appealing and ensure clear visibility of fret positions. With a 12” radius, the fretboard is perfect for both rhythm and lead playing, accommodating a variety of playing styles.
’57 Classic™ and ’57 Classic + Pickups:
Equipped with the renowned ’57 Classic™ and ’57 Classic + pickups, the LPSTAA01-E2 offers rich, full-bodied tones. These humbuckers are known for their vintage warmth, clear midrange punch, and exceptional sustain. The bridge pickup provides more output, while the neck pickup delivers a smoother, more rounded tone.
Push/Pull Volume and Tone Knobs:
The guitar features individual push/pull volume and tone controls, offering coil tapping for a single-coil tone from the humbuckers. Additionally, the tone knobs include phase and Pure Bypass switching, allowing players to explore endless tonal possibilities, from thick humbucker sounds to sharp single-coil tones.
