A great articulated Les Paul tone.
It you know us well, you already know that we are big fans of Schwarz Custom Guitars. Gerhard Schwarz builds are there at the top, next to Bartlett and other famous names from the industry. The attention to detail, fine selection of woods and our HB PW make this St. Helens really stand out from the crowd.
The original owner bought it in 2022, and kept in in great shape. It has a few playing marks as can be seen in the photos. Nothing substantial though. The guitar sports a Brazilian Rosewood fretboard, a dark and great sounding one. The top shows great flame, and the finish is refreshing, as it goes away from the standard Gibson "Burst" Les Paul style.
Sound wise, it has that 50s DNA in it. Well balanced tone with good string separation. Thanks to the HB PW the bridge position delivers an open and rich in high-mids & treble sound, fantastic for overdrives. While the neck position is dark, like a 58 PAF. This combination gives a world of sound possibilities, and fits this Schwarz Custom St. Helens like a glove. Also the upgraded Area59 Aged Limited Edition ABR-1 Bridge Softbrass supports the great tone of this guitar much.
The guitar comes with the original CITES and case.
