Hi Guys.
I've finally decided I'll be getting a Heritage Les Paul (Original body specs).
After seeing Kaknights Les Paul, I wanted one just like it.
Here's Kaknights thread: https://forum.seymourduncan.com/showthread.php?t=7981
Here are the specs that I will be asking Jay Wolfe for:
Neck: 24 3/4 ".
Haven't decided on contour yet (50s or 60s slim neck)
Does anybody know what else I can get that accomodates LOW action, SMOOTH bends, and easy playability. A thing to keep in mind is I have BIG hands though. I was thinking of 50s fat neck with 6130 fretwire. Does anyone have any better ideas for fretsizes? Would 6100 be better for sustain, playability and bends?
The materials will be mahogany neck with Ebony fretboard though. Also getting the fretboard and headstock bound with cream binding. Using real mother of pearl inlays (Standard Paul style).
Bone Nut.
I haven't decided on the color yet. I really like Kaknights almond burst, but I might just go with a heritage cherry burst (a bit lighter). Anyone know any other good colors?
Pickups are hands down Duncan Antiquities (that guitar will deserve em...)
The body shape will be original Les Paul spec (not the smaller heritage type).
Using Eastern Maple for the flamed top, and South American Mahogany for the body material. The body will be bound on both sides with cream binding.
Aluminum TonePros double locking bridge and tailpeice.
Sperzel or Shaller tuners.
Probably going to engrave my initials into the truss rod cover - AAA
A thing I wasn't sure about is what angle do they glue the neck in to the body? (I heard from various musicians that that angle varies).
I am going to email Jay Wolfe and request an estimate. Does anyone know his phone number as well?
Are there any things anyone would like to recomment? I'd appreciate any feedback!
Thank you.
