Vintage sound updated for today
The Muse takes you into the sonic wheelhouse of vintage Les Paul tone with the Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers. These traditional Alinco pickups have the tonal colorings of a vintage PAF but with a slightly higher output for a more modern sound. The Alnico-V magnets in these monsters drive the higher output and enhance the mids and highs while still letting plenty of low-end grit come through for when you really want to blow the doors open. And with 2 Volume controls with coil-splitting and treble bleed along with 2 Tone controls with phase switch, the tone-shaping world of these humbuckers is huge and a favorite here at Sweetwater.
Vintage appointments
The Muse is an apt name since this fine electric features the appointments that guitarists recognize as earmarks of classic Les Paul design. Nickel-finished hardware, Clear Speed knobs, and nickel pickup covers give the Muse a spotlight-reflecting stage presence. A LockTone ABR bridge and stop-bar tailpiece provide outstanding tuning and sustain support, and Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners are onboard to make tuning smooth, consistent, and rock-solid. The laurel fingerboard is graced with 22 medium jumbo frets for easy chording and leads, and vintage trapezoid inlays provide a classic aesthetic!
