les paul with chrome floyd rose

[Orpheo]

I have a chrome OFR here, and I want to mount it on a les paul, but what should the colorscheme be? I wonder what you guys would do. Here are some parameters for specs:
the fretboard HAS to be ebony with blockinlay or celtic crosses
the shape a les paul, and for the rest: knock yourselves out!

here are some questions that might help giving a nice (mental) picture:

what topwood? (maple, korina, something else?)
what colorscheme? (transparant?burst?opaque?)
binding? (real? clearcoat? with or without lipover?)
how many pickups? (1, 2, 3?)

hehe
Korina Top with a light tobacco burst
Korina Back w/ trans brown finish
Natural binding
Rosewood/Ebony Neck (warmoth pro style headstock for a change)
You won't built a guitar with anything other than 3 pickups anyway
oh and I think you need a dc for a change

This one...

Solid ebony neck...

I considered a dc once, or even a 2 pickup version! but it just isnt it for me

but that blue-ish body just screams for gold hardware. It has to go with chrome. I hate chrome...

Don't DO that, stormbringer.  That quilt almost gave me a heart attack.

I think you should do a Korina with a dark burst .
Like this one on a VIP.

With Celtic crosses and the Skull Bones at the 12th

Black humbuckers and skull knobs, Chrome tuners on a ebony face.

The darkness of the guitar will shine with the chrome hardware in contrast with those block inlays on ebony.

Glad to see some LP fans  :rock-on:

 

[dbw]

Skull knobs?  Come on...

I've seen a pic while ago of a "tradicional" LP with floyd, and it looked killer!...

Here is a LP with Floyd

 

[Orpheo]

I just build myself a COOOOL LP with chrome floyd with kisekae. I've been watching my fav band, THE SCORPIONS, on dvd now, and this guitar is inspired (HEAVILY!) by them:

the specs:

chrome OFR, 3 band active EQ, 18 DB gainpot, master volume and gain, true bypass under a push pull, sustainer, schenker paintscheme. its inspired by the schenker Vee and the neal schon sig, and a bit of my own. oh yeah, this IS going to be my next project, it just has to be. I neeeeed this guitar.



edit: funny, I associate the floyd with matthias jabs, not neal schon

oh well, it makes a les paul

1: more versatile
2: better in tune!

but what do you guys think of my mockup?

 

[NonsenseTele]

Has somebody erased my post??  ???  Or have I not sent it? :dontknow:

Well. will speak again:
What about another sparkle, but like this:

(showed to us by Colex in another thread)
OR

If you're very hard into Schenker idea, I believe Black humbuckers with cream/white mounting rigs would look the best

 

[Orpheo]

It will be a schenker-les paul. thats beyond any doubt :icon_jokercolor: :headbang:

 

[NonsenseTele]

[Orpheo]
