I got this beautiful guitar from the german master-luthier Jorg Tandler. Its features are basically like the old Les Pauls between 58-60. Very light weight Honduras Mahagony body with hard Maple top and Mahagony neck with Brasilian Rosewood fingerboard (12" radius) - the total weight is 3,6kg which is extremely light for a guitar like this. Pickups used: '58 PAF copies from german manufacturer Kloppman. Beautiful '59 Dark Burst with Nitro lacquer and huge, fat '59 shape neck. Very resonant, great player!

For me it's the second guitar I bought from Jorg - first one was a '59 Mintage Strat (just see my gear review). It's good to have someone you can trust 100% if you're looking for your personal perfect guitar. Make yourself happy and get a real Morgaine and forget the Fender- or Gibson Custom Shop.
