Don't let anyone tell you any different: the Les Paul is a legend. And you can wax lyrical about any number of different features and characteristics that supposedly make it better than the rest.

And the rosewood fingerboard is slick, delivering a tremendously smooth playing action - ideal for speedy soloing.
It's not just in the playability where this expertly-crafted neck excels, though. It's also capable of delivering exquisite tone. Made from premium mahogany, it offers a rich, balanced sound that will help your mids resonate. Paired with the beautiful warmth of the rosewood fretboard, you've got a far-reaching tonal palette that can handle any genre or style.
