New LP body on the way!

Just picked this one up on the sale!

Unfortunately I waited about an hour to long to order it and the neck, because the neck got snagged by someone else.  Yhis one is gonna stay boxed up until I return to the US in about 6 month.  Not sure how I am gonna finish it yet.

Cool another one going into the closet.  :icon_biggrin:

On the neck situation, you could go for a Warmoth. :icon_thumright:

Only because I am moving in 5 months.  Once I get settled after the move the build will begin.

Awesome!  I'm glad I'm not the only one who got sucked into the "now or never" sale.

Oh no.  This is the one that will be on it's way to my house:

I considered asking them to finish it like this:

But now that they've differentiated blue burst from Aquamarine, I decided to go with that instead.

Better change the name of this thread to 'The last of LP GAS thread'
Or
Those that just 'Can't help them selves'  :icon_biggrin:
Original http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7_BtSCNig4  Originally done with an LP
Extended version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6F2f8-MAUBM  Great intro with the Bass guitar plus using a Strat this time.
One of the Aussie bands I've seen heaps & heaps of times. Lived local to me.

:rock-on:

Good pickup! Nice to see the LPs going to good homes.

Awesome!  I'm glad I'm not the only one who got sucked into the "now or never" sale. 

I had the same thought. I have found that nothing disrupts fiscal planning more than a "Last Chance at an LP" sale.

Got my shipped notice today.  Looking to have an ice tea burst on the front and clear on the back, for that classic LP look.

Will go with a Warmoth peghead shape (most likly) chrome hardware with cream pickup rings.

Thinking either rosewood or wenge neck with trap inlays.

Undecided on pickups but am leaning towards a set of BKP Mules.

Should be sweet once completed.

Seems like it might go well with the finish you have in mind  :dontknow:
