    Mahogany body, flame maple cap, maple bolt on neck with ebony fretboard. Jumbo frets, standard Gibson style bridge and stoptail, custom pickups ;) and strung up with .010's and the action slammed to the fretboard. In a new band and doing the rock/blues thing this time around instead of mostly blues based. Didn't have Les Paul style guitar and decided this would do the job nicely.

    I know that the bolt on neck isn't going to sit to well with the Les Paul purists, but I don't care. I did it to prove you can get the same killer sustain and tone without having a set neck. And if it falls over and the headstock snaps off, which is common with this style guitar, i'll just whip up another one...

    I don't have a recording setup at home yet. I know there is one in the studio, so I'll see if I can run a few tracks at the rehersals.

    Wow, that's a sleek looking guitar. Ever since college it's a habit i wanted to pick up. One of my real good friends is a serious enthusiast, so I might have him sit me down for a few lessons.

    Any tips for a n00b? :)
