Troy West

Built on a narrow A-fork tree, this saddle features a geometric stamp called a wicker stamp. The tooling in the corners is done using a method called extreme embossing, with the flowers and scrolls pushed up from underneath and filled with leather to create a fuller, more rounded effect. The silver conchas were fabricated by TCAA silversmith Beau Compton.

Wrapped in hand-sewn, fully floral carved leather with dyed background, this Les Paul Studio Session guitar offers the latest in guitar technology to achieve the classic Les Paul sound. Included are features such as an Ultra-Modern weight relieved mahogany body with AA figured maple cap; a mahogany neck with bound fretboard and SlimTaper profile; black plastics and black nickel hardware; ’57 Classic and ’57 Classic+ pickups and push/pull tone knobs for phase and pure bypass switching. The guitar comes with a soft-shell case.

This half-scale A-fork saddle by West has a full double rig with hand sewn, leather covered rigging rings. Decorated in a full border basket stamp design with elaborate swivel knife cuts inside the borders, this diminutive 8-string saddle features sterling silver conchas handcrafted by TCAA silversmith Beau Compton, exposed stirrup leathers and matching tapaderos.
