Now that's what I'm talkin' about!

[ironeddie]

Well everyone, my guitar pieces came last week and I was so excited that I forgot to take lots of pictures... so now you only get a few.  Here's the deal.

Body:
Mahogany on Mahogany chambered less paul body routed for a recessed Floyd Rose and finished in alpine white

Neck:
Standard thin quarter sawn maple core, half scalloped with a clear satin finish.  (I might do the headstock later in white but I can't decide if I would like that better or not...)

Pickups are Dimarzio X2N (bridge) and the D-Activator X in the neck.


Anyway now its awesome and plays like a dream and sounds amazing... I don't think that I'll ever buy another manufactured guitar ever again... I still can't decide what to do with the headstock...

That looks like the shiz!  :laughing7:

I've always loved Floyd roses on les pauls!

Just my opinion but I'd have the headstock matching the colour of the body...that natural finish doesn't do it for me 

But beautiful build man! Wish I was as lucky as you!  :laughing11:

Love it.

White or black head stock.  :icon_thumright:

For me, would have been perfect with a jet black ebony board on a mahogany or maple neck.  :headbang1:

Looks great, although, like DBU said, I'd have had to run w/a Maple Board if it were my project...but that's just me! Enjoy her!  :headbang:

Agreed, would look marvelous with maple board... arty07:

Awesome!!!!
I love white Les Pauls!!
IMHO, the headstock to be painted white is a MUST DO! Or black with white outlines, like on the Gibson LP Custom headstock.
Anyway, the bare Maple looks kinda "unfinished" IMHO...

Thanks everyone!  I did end up finishing the headstock white.  If you are interested there are pictures of the finished axe on my blog...  Let me just say, this is a rock machine!! Here's the link to my blog page about it

Enjoy fellahs,  I've had this one for a while now... I'm beginning to feel the itch for a new one.  I'll keep you posted eh?
