Les Paul Series: Standard '50s vs. '60s vs. Studio Les Paul Standard '50s: Solid non-weight-relieved mahogany body with carved maple cap, chunky vintage '50s rounded neck profile, BurstBucker 1 (neck) & 2 (bridge) pickups with Alnico II magnets and orange drop capacitors. Les Paul Standard '60s: Slim Taper neck profile, 60s BurstBucker pickups with Alnico V magnets for hotter output and articulate high-end bite. Les Paul Studio & Modern: Ultra-modern weight relief, push-pull coil-tapping / phase switching, and contoured neck heels for modern gigging versatility. 2. SG, ES Semi-Hollows & Historic Solidbodies SG Standard & '61 Reissue: Lightweight solid mahogany double-cut body providing unhindered access to all 22 frets, warm midrange snap, and 490R/490T or 60s BurstBucker pickup voicings. ES-335 Semi-Hollowbody: 3-ply maple/poplar/maple body with a solid maple center block, delivering singing sustain, woody acoustic resonance, and feedback immunity at high stage volumes. Explorer & Flying V: Radical 1958 body silhouettes loaded with high-output ceramic 496R/500T or BurstBucker humbuckers for hard rock and heavy metal. 3.
