Ah yes, a Les Paul that is traditional, like the name suggests. My favourite vintage Les Pauls have blue finishes and robotic tuners.

That body shape isn't too bad in a "funky cheap 60's japanese guitar" way and might've been tolerable with a Melody Maker or Heritage headstock. But jeez what an atrocity with that Explorer headstock haha.
