PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Introducing “Lola,” a RDS build that carries the spirit of a vintage-inspired Les Paul. At 8.3 lbs, Lola offers a comfortable weight and strong acoustic resonance, making it a well-balanced instrument for both stage and studio use.

The neck has been carefully reshaped to match a true vintage ’59 profile. Topped with a Brazilian Rosewood fretboard, it delivers both the smooth playability and harmonic richness associated with the most desirable late-’50s guitars.

Lola is fitted with a set of Ballestone ’59 PAF Replica Humbuckers. These pickups are constructed with original NOS screws and wire, faithfully recreating the tone and dynamics of vintage PAFs—clear and responsive with the character players look for on a vintage Les Paul humbucker.

Traditional hide-glue construction and period-correct details ensure structural integrity and vintage-accurate resonance. The finish highlights the top and gives the guitar a classic, understated look.

As part of the Real Deal Series, Lola represents careful craftsmanship and attention to historical accuracy, built for those who want a reliable instrument rooted in vintage tradition.
