Here's a very rough mock-up of the M2M 1954 Les Paul I'm trying to get built. Thoughts?

I’ve been trying to order an M2M Les Paul since June, I decided this weekend to try to throw something together so I could see if it actually looked as cool as I’ve been picturing in my head!

I started out just going for an R4 but once I asked for the 5-piece neck I realized it would look way better with back binding so now I’m going for a Custom. Fingers crossed they can make me an alnico staple pickup with cream (or white) plastics!! Only ever seen pics of black ones out of the factory

When I was asking about the standard they said flat out “no” to an ebony board with the split parallelogram inlays. But I’m hoping that now it’s a custom they’ll do it!

There’s a lot of mismatched stuff in the mock up because I had to Frankenstein it using bits and pieces of other guitars I found on google images haha. But it’s nice to get a rough idea of what it might actually look like!

The pictures I have are too big to be uploaded to the forum, so here's an imgur link!

Looks pretty nice, but I'm not sure they will combine all those specifics.  I don't recall ever seeing white plastics on anything, only the creme color.  Let us know if they approve it, then you'll only have about a year to wait for it to be built from what I've heard.  Good luck.

I dont think theres anything too outrageous going on there.. Really hope you get what you want. It will certainly be unique 

And yeah. If they make it, please do come back and post some pictures for us...

 

Good luck.

Yeah, cream is my #1 choice but I told them white is ok just in case they can't do cream multi-ply binding for the custom since it's usually white.  Just want it to match haha
