The body, neck, f-holes and headstock are bound in curly maple, in a natural finish, with black-white-black purfling in boxwood and ebony for the top, f-holes, sides, back, the sides of the fingerboard and the sides of the headstock, while the top of the headstock has two ply white-black purfling. The headstock has an ebony headplate in a natural finish with Mr. Languedoc’s signature inlaid in mother of pearl. The tuners are Gotoh 510 in chrome and there is access for the truss rod under an ebony truss rod cover affixed with two screws. The fingerboard is ebony with mother of pearl diamond inlays at the third, fifth, seventh, ninth, twelfth, fifteenth, seventeenth, nineteenth, twenty first and twenty fourth frets with twenty four frets in total. There are corresponding side dots in mother of pearl. 

The body is fully hollow with a pair of carved tone bars on either side of the pickups. The pickups are a pair of Seymour Duncan ‘59 Humbuckers. They are mounted to the body with a pair of hand made pickup rings in ebony. The bridge is a floating adjustable type made of ebony with compensated brass saddles. The tailpiece is hand carved ebony, affixed to the body with a chrome plated plate. The electronics include a master volume and tone, a pickup selector switch, a coil selector switch and a series/parallel switch. The coil selector switch has three positions, with the humbuckers active in the center position. In the down position, the outer coils are active and in the up position the inner coils are active. 

The scale length is 25 ½,” and the nut width is 1 11/16.” The neck is a subtle thin “V” profile. Plugged in or not, this instrument already has a dry woody tone with a surprising bass response and, plugged in, it sounds amazing on every setting.
