Advanced Ultra-Modern Weight Relief
Ultra-Modern Weight Relief was created by a subtle but carefully calculated offset of the chambers around the guitar's perimeters to lighten the weight without compromising the tone. To preserve the Les Paul sound, it's designed to create a solid core in the middle of the guitar. Unlike a fully chambered design, it is not as susceptible to feedback and affects the guitar's tone and resonance.
