Shaped Heel with Triple 59 Burst

Our paint guys finished this guitar perfectly. A dual burst on body and neck and headstock.

 

Hey Phil,
 Just wanted to shoot you a few pics. Besides the incredible finish and fantastic  workmanship this sounds like nothing I’ve heard before. Even my wife said OMG what did you do. This was a really quick build with the excellent finish already done. Neck set so all that has to be done is add the hardware. I did do a burst on some flame maple pickup rings. I put in some Tom Doyle pickups in, he was Les Pauls guitar tech for 45 years. Hand wound aged nickel. Electronics are Martin six string les  paul holy grail with lux bumblebee caps and cts 550 pots. Tuners are Gibson waffle. Gibson roller bridge and tailpiece. This is the ultimate in guitars it will take alot of thought to come up with the next better one.
  Thanks Phil and the rest of the guys

Hey Phil,
Just wanted to show you what your great craftmanship has done again.

The pickups are sheptone classic. Tailpiece is by tail peace designs, I had to work on that a bit because it was chrome so a little black dye wipe down and seal with satin lacquer .  Pots are cts 550 with bumblebee caps.
Just about have that awesome piece you sent together just waiting on new switch, got a bad one. sounds better than any guitar I have heard Just wait till you see her.
Thank you for turning a thought into reality.
 Thanks again
