SpAce is the Place

[Wattage]

I did a Frampton trib for a buddy of mine a few years back, before they actually came out with one. He's acquired a few more guitars since then and decided since he isn't really an LP guy that he wanted to sell it. So of course since I need it like I need another hole in my head I ended up taking it. It is actually a really nice guitar (2000 Unsung factory) and I NEED it because a few tweaks and it'll be a trib to Ace Frehley's black Custom from the cover of Guitar Player, one of the more important guitars in my world anyhow.

Got a set of Grover 103C tuners that mimic the look of the Grover Futuras on Ace's, chrome hardware was already in my collection of parts and as luck would have it a pair of stupid hot Ibanez V2's in double cream where dropped in my lap. So that leaves the bridge position....and a quick Reverb search found a nice clean DiM Super D in double cream for the right price.

I'll finish it up in the next day or so.

Cool project. I was just looking at the Joe Bonamassa "Black Beauty." I want one. https://www.epiphone.com/Guitar/EPIF...l-Custom/Ebony

Let us know how this continues.

I've owned a couple of real three pickup 50's Les Paul Customs. Love the sound of a middle and bridge humbucker combined but there's not enough room to pick.

I like it!!!!!!!

[Mincer]

I bet that cover sold a lot of guitars!

[Aceman]

I have that magazine issue.

Sweet ride. I have a project guitar I was planning to do that with...but just have never got around to it.

I've been GASsing for a 3-PU Les for a while. This is not helping.

[Wattage]

All ready to go

Looks great and I do not get the issue people have with picking on a 3 pickup guitars. You are picking above the stings the pickup should be no problem. People do not have problems playing Strats.

Should have known this wasn't a Sun Ra thread...but had to check anyhow.

ive never got along with three pup gibsons, the middle pup messes with my picking hand or picking. i havent messed around enough to figure out which one it is but every time i pick one up, its the same. love the look of the black with the cream and a super d in the bridge of a lp sounds like rock and roll

Should have known this wasn't a Sun Ra thread...but had to check anyhow.

ha!

The middle pickup can be a pain sometimes but that’s Rock n Roll folks
