The body is routed and drilled to 1959 Les Paul Carmelita specifications, ensuring the perfect combination of weight and balance. The guitar's double gold finish adds a touch of elegance, while the nitrocellulose lacquer allows the wood to breathe and age naturally over time, giving the guitar a truly vintage look and feel.
