Navigator is the brand within the globally renowned ESP Group primarily responsible for manufacturing traditional models.
This model is based on the 1956 Les Paul.
It faithfully follows the traditional construction and sound character while boasting the high level of craftsmanship unique to Japanese-made instruments.
Furthermore, the headstock bears the inscription “Les Paul,” suggesting it was manufactured in the 1970s.
The body features the classic combination of a Mahogany back and a Maple top.
The Gold Top finish offers a classic, commanding look and remains a beloved, enduring standard.
The neck is Mahogany with a Rosewood fingerboard.
Its substantial neck profile provides a solid grip, delivering stable playability from chord work to lead playing.
It features two soapbar-style P-90 pickups.
The sound is characterized by a sweetness balanced with a sharp, crisp edge.
The bridge combines a Tune-O-Matic with a stop tailpiece, accommodating various playing styles.
A high-class masterpiece in every aspect: looks, sound, and playability.
Why not take advantage of this opportunity?
