Could it have been a Les Paul Extreme? Willy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philart Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 It was definatly leopard print, It was an old epiphone though, I figured it had been around a while before the owner sold it, cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinTheHood Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Maybe it was this guy's guitar.

philart Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 That Lars video kept coming up everytime I looked for that guitar, I think it must of been a custom one, I kick myself everyday for not getting it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender 4 Life Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 several companies sell semi-adhesive "skins" for guitars including LPs....could it possibly have been one of those? (i've seen leopard print skins in some advertizements) that also conjures the idea of purchasing a used LP in the correct base color, and adding an aftermarket "skin" yourself.......

You are thinking of "AXEWRAPS" - They don't have skins for EVERY guitar, but DO have quite a selection. I believe there are "how-to" vids on you-tube. This came up before in an old thread, but there are so many pics now deleted, wasn't worth bumping.... AXEWRAPS: http://www.axewraps.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersonic Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 The only ones for Epi's that are available are for an LP Special 2 and an SG Special? That's pretty lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
