Warmoth Les Paul #6: Purpleheart Top, Rosewood back

[Orpheo]

Sometimes the need for speed, uhm... wood, goes beyond prefered boundaries. Half of the rainforest resides in my living room  :dontknow: but still....  :rock-on: arty07:

This guitar is no exception: no exotics = no guitar for me! Thats why this guitar is one of my favorites! No, just kidding, ofcourse. This guitar is one of my favorites, cause its unique in every aspect. The neckback, the top, back, pickups, wiring...

Here is the spec-sheet:
1 piece purpleheart
2 piece indian rosewood back, solid
iveroid binding on top
3 humbuckers

canary neck, fatback
macassar ebony fingerboard
iveroid binding, 6100 frets
custom inlay

My OWN pickup-set! I won't post all the details, but sufficive to say, there's no set in the WORLD like this one! its totallly unique, and it will only work and sound good in a les paul. in a strat, tele, V, xplorer or SG? Forget it.

Here are the pics!

Did I not already tell you to stop gloating ?   

I'm ripping my hair out over your god like collection of LP's.  :sad1:

 

[shanejw]

Man, I love 3 humbucker LP's.  Nice!

 

[kboman]

That oiled purpleheart top... Absolutely stunning.

 

[Mor Paul]

Man, that's sexy. I may have to get something similar sometime.
Chrome hardware.

[mayfly]

holy crap.  It's a Les Paul orgasimtron!

 

[Mor Paul]

You know, this is probably the best guitar you've put together. It's tasteful.

And that's like a wine red on steroids, which rocks.

Very nice Orf, but I see no custom plate you mentioned of ...Only a blank canvas.... :laughing7:

So, what's up with all the secrecy regarding your pick-up's  :icon_scratch:
Are ya scared...  Someone may discover your secret and attempt to corner the world market on Orf's special LP reserve pups? 

Seriously, very nice combination of woods.  I have always loved Purpleheart and it goes really well with the Rosewood & Canary.
I am really just jealous10!

[OzziePete]

Again another brilliant project from Orpheo. :blob7: :hello2: :toothy10:

Notice you have both a 5 way blade switch and a three way toggle. I know you want to keep the pickup design quiet, but are you in a position to tell us about the combination of those switches and how they work? :icon_scratch:
