OK, I'll play along.

V/T Controls ---- 500k Audio Taper; '50's wiring with Luxe PIO Grey Tigers/B'ees

Finish ------------- High-Gloss Nitro

Color/Spray ----- Don't know, really. Possibly a very faded Tea-turning-to-Honey Burst with a well-ambered yellow layer? Cherry-red back.

Pick Guard ------ Installed. Vintage style.

Hardware -------- Nickel plated; ABR-1 bridge; Vintage style TRC; Schaller strap-locks.

 

Hang on a mo, though;.......that pretty much describes an R9...................:-k

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.

Posted

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? [biggrin][blink]

 

Cheers... Bence

It is free to use, just scroll down to the guitar you'd like to design.

This may be fun. Let's maybe try to not be too detailed, otherwise we'll have a big mess in no time!

 

Please add or subtract a 'basic' only, as necessary, for your own build...

 

Oh and hey there, Gibman, listen up, please.
