Body and Finish
The body of the Chad Kroeger "Blackwater" Les Paul is made from a top carved from highly figured Grade-AAA maple and a back of chambered select mahogany. This combination offers the classic tonal advantages of bright, crisp maple and warm, juicy mahogany, with enhanced resonance and reduced weight. The guitar is finished in hand-stained in Trans Black and finished in nitrocellulose lacquer, with painted white stars on the side of the neck corresponding with the position markers. 


Pickups and ElectronicsThe Chad Kroeger "Blackwater" Les Paul carries a powerful complement of pickups, including Gibson's 490R and 498T from the popular Modern Classics series, and a GraphTech™ Ghost® system in the form of a piezo-pickup bridge for authentic acoustic tones. All three pickups are routed through individual volume controls, with a master tone control, a three-way switch for the humbuckers, and a stereo jack to split signals as desired. 
Neck, Fingerboard and Headstock
The neck of the Chad Kroeger "Blackwater" Les Paul is constructed from solid quarter-sawn mahogany for optimum strength and resonance, and capped with a bound Grade-A rosewood fingerboard with traditional trapezoid inlays. Plus, the neck features Kroeger’s own idea of adding white star decals along the upper back fretboard, aligned with the standard fret markers, which allow you to see where your hand is positioned when playing on a darkened stage. Its headstock is back-angled at the traditional 17 degrees, a design point that increases string pressure in the nut slots to enhance resonance and sustain. 
Hardware
In classic Les Paul style, the Chad Kroeger "Blackwater" Les Paul is appointed with the combo of chrome-plated GraphTech™ ResoMax™ Tune-o-matic-style bridge with piezo saddles and stopbar tailpiece for rock-solid tones and precise intonation adjustment. Its headstock is loaded with high-quality Grover kidney-button tuners.
