From its impeccably selected and presented woods to the stunning fit and finish (seriously, check out that neck joint), the Orca '59 embodies the vision of a master luthier pushing the boundaries of what an LP-style guitar can achieve.
At first glance, the Orca '59 checks all the traditional boxes: a stunning maple top, a solid mahogany body, and a pair of vintage-inspired '59 Haussel humbuckers. But the moment you pick it up, it’s clear you’re holding something extraordinary. The build quality is jaw-dropping—every detail is so meticulously executed that the guitar feels like a pure expression of the finest materials and craftsmanship. It’s clean and precise, yet brimming with character.
This gently used 2023 Orca '59 is incredibly alive and loud, even unplugged. The acoustic tones are remarkable, and the neck carve—fat but narrow-feeling—is perfectly shaped to provide comfort and playability without fatigue. It feels intuitive in hand, with flawless fretwork and effortless playability that elevate every note you play.
Plugged in, the Orca '59 bridges the gap between Les Paul muscle and Telecaster bite and top-end. The 25" scale length introduces a snappy clarity that complements the traditional Les Paul punch and heft. Engage the humbucker coil tap, and you’ll uncover tones with a surprising Tele-like sparkle and dynamics. While it won’t replace your Telecaster, the tonal versatility of the Orca '59 expands far beyond classic Les Paul territory.
