Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Built around a lightweight mahogany body and figured two-piece maple top, this 1960 Les Paul Standard Reissue pairs a Slim Taper mahogany neck with an Indian rosewood fingerboard. Two unpotted Alnico III CustomBuckers feed a hand-wired harness with individual volume and tone controls, so pickup selection and control changes remain directly at hand. The Heavy Aged Murphy Lab treatment extends across the finish and hardware, with prominent lacquer checking, buckle rash, and wear at the arm, neck, and peghead.
