THE SLUNK: My lefty Buckethead tribute LP build

[keeper006]

This is my LP tribute to Buckethead. Chambered mahogany body with mahogany cap, maple neck with rosewood fretboard. I used 6 coats of Alpine White for the finish.

Original Floyd trem, Dimarzio Evolution in the bridge and Tone Zone in the neck. Chickenhead vol knob, mini toggle switch, and obviously no axe that has association with Buckethead would be complete without a bright red killswitch.

I did save a bit on this build picking up the vintage 80's Warmoth neck on ebay instead of ordering a new one. It's a righty reverse headstock I flipped to lefty.

At least I think I look cool, since I can't play like Bucket.

Where's the KFC bucket?  What scale it that?

Great job! Great looking guitar

I keep the bucket and the mask for halloween. It's 25.5 scale, I used the Fender length to try to get it close to his, since Bucket's custom oversize LPs are something like 27" scale.

Awesome. I always wanted to do a Bucket-style LP. What I miss is white hardware.  :sign13:

Cool guitar.  'Not digging the headstock at all though...

Nice concept and great execution. Not too sure about the headstock.  :icon_thumright:
