The HLS240SF, the flagship model of the HLS series, is a top-quality flame top model that uses carefully selected wood and parts to achieve all the specifications that bring it close to vintage. The arch of the body top and the position of the front pickup, which are a vintage feature, are profiled from the 1950s model. Beautiful flame top, 1-piece mahogany back, and USA-made parts. ``The Fifty Nine Plus'' pickup has slightly higher output than ``The Fifty Nine'', and an ultra-thin lacquer finish that is 1/3 thinner than conventional pickups allows for quick rise and fall of sound that responds quickly to the touch. I'm getting it. The neck angle is 3.8 degrees, which is close to the 50's vintage. It has both sustain and crispness. Madagascar rose is used for the Delrin nut, Jescar frets, and fingerboard. The neck set has a deep joint that creates a sense of unity between the body and neck, which has a big impact on the sound.
