The optimal combination of contemporary and classic! In 1958, the Les Paul transitioned from a basic gold finish to a cherry finish on a two-piece carved maple top. Many of the tapas were rather simple, yet others, for which collectors currently pay exorbitant rates, featured exquisitely carved two-piece flamed maple tops. The carved lid was the distinguishing feature that set Les Paul apart from its competitors. This persisted throughout the instrument’s extensive and significant history. The Les Paul Supreme features a AAA carved maple top and AAA bottom on a traditional mahogany body, elevating its design to the furthest level. Details amalgamate contemporary and traditional characteristics for a guitar capable of performing in every genre, from country to metal, and all in between.
