      Nice Les Paul! I love it, the snake tail piece is a nice touch. The Jazz/JB combo is tried and true. If I ever see a swamp ash Gibson Les Paul in person that feels right to me, I am definitely going to buy it. What year is yours?

      I have a Warmoth swamp ash Regal with the Whole Lotta Humbucker set that I really love:

      But your swamp ash Les Paul kinda reminds me of my black korina LP because of the color. I am having some technical difficulties attaching more than one photo in this reply... Hold on.

        Here is my black korina LP, jazz neck, classic stack middle, jazz bridge. Wenge neck, ziricote fretboard... this is my oldest guitar (sorry for the poor photo quality):

            That blue Warmoth is dynamite. Did you stain it, or did Warmoth? How does it sound?

              Thank you! I love that guitar. It became my favorite guitar the first day I played it in August of 2015.

              I wish I had that kind of finishing skill! Warmoth finished it. Warmoth has done such a fantastic job with everything I have ordered, I really hope to hear from them again soon. They have earned my loyalty.

              Although, if I like this orpheo bass, I may be asking him to do a purple LP guitar next...

              To answer your question, the blue Warmoth has an attitude! Part of it is obviously the WLH pickups, but this guitar has such a wide range of tonal possibilities.

              With any kind of dirt, fuzz, distortion, gain, etc... the crunch is so nasty but with plenty of definition. I have it wired with push/push pots to operate either pickup in single coil mode as well, so for example, my big muff pi with the bridge in single coil mode is a lot of fun.

              The cleans are awesome too! This guitar can clean up for funk or reggae, or it can deliver some really glassy blues. It can twang it out too. I really, really love the tone of this guitar. It is very articulate. Someday I need to start recording some clips again, but ideally I would like to start a band again in the near future. Either way, getting some clips out there for some of these Warmoths with Duncans would be cool.

                  One more photo, after all, this blue swamp ash look is the inspiration behind the idea to get an orpheo LP bass:

                      I noticed when I saw your photos... I am a huge fan of Prince, so when I have a bespoke purple LP made, I want it to be my best guitar! I have a feeling you will be able to help me with that after the bass is complete...

                        My Reptile Green LP is a 2016 Gibson Custom Studio

                        The new S Series Les Paul Custom Studio showcases the iconic carved-top Les Paul design and features a nitrocellulose finish, with a new Nitro stain on both body and neck for a gorgeous vintage look. It has a set neck made of one piece of solid maple, with a slim-taper profile, topped with a genuine one-piece rosewood fingerboard. The body is crafted from swamp ash with 9-hole weight relief for superb playing comfort and enhanced resonance, and the guitar is loaded with completely new, modern, Made-in-USA, Double Slugs Alnico 5 Rhythm DS-A5 and Lead DS-A5+ humbuckers to deliver amazing quality, tone and playability.

                              Awesome, I am reading it right now. I am only a few paragraphs in and I am already enjoying it. It definitely brings me back, in a nostalgic way, to when I was trying to decide what I wanted to do with my first parts build.

                              I love the line... "my first good guitar" because that is how I classify a lot of things in my past. My first good guitar was an Epiphone Les Paul, before that I had a crappy guitar that was a discount item at a small department store in the 90s. I do that with cars too, my first car was a manual Honda Accord but I blew the engine in about 5 weeks, so I always say my first real car was an '86 VW GTI.

                              Anyway, I enjoy blogging myself. Blogging makes up for about 75% of my clients as a writer these days, so I always enjoy reading a well written blog. Nice work in capturing more than just the process within your writing. I will finish reading it now...

                                Orpheo and I were bloggers for SD for awhile, before they stopped doing that. If you browse through the blogs, you can find dozens that he wrote, too.
