Pin Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 I'd go with basically Bence's version re the solid Honduras mahogany body and fretless wonder frets and ebony board etc but must have nibs / nubs and also Pippy's requirement of a properly dished top. I'd like a good flame and a sort of darkish honeyburst. Pickups - well I've never heard better than the Memphis Historic Spec pickups in my 1959 reissue ES345 so I'll have those please! Oh, throw in the TP6 as well.
btoth76 Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Yes, nibs! Even though, sometimes they are a pain, but...well...a proper LP has to have them. ...also forgot to mention the volute. :D Just saw a LP Custom Koa-top at Thomann's site. Ah, is there a Rotshild girl looking for a husband right now? Cheers... Bence

casey_vee Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 I figure most les Paul fans are also tele fans. This is just a testament to what this website is capable of.
