together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dual-humbucker configuration is a versatile choice for blues, classic rock, hard rock and other styles that benefit from the contrasting characteristics of

tailpiece\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis traditional fixed-bridge arrangement maintains the familiar LP configuration while continuing the gold hardware theme established by the pickups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of metallic blue and gold gives this particular guitar a noticeably different appearance from the chrome-equipped grey and blue burst Les Paul
