A labor of love, check it out here:

This guitar started life as a body/ neck kit I bought from Precision Guitar Kits: http://stores.ebay.com/Precision-Gui...id=p4340.l2563
Really nice kits using glued in necks and high grade mahogany.
I don't know how many hours I put into this project, but it turned out beautifully! First I had to correct a few inaccuracies in the kit. The neck had a volute which i sanded away. And the neck heel needed some rounding. Then I did a red stain and a high gloss, hand buffed finish. This guitar is every bit as good as a true Gibson. And better. Tuners are Grover Klusons, the P90 is a Duncan Antiquity, Tusq nut, and the bridge is fully intonatable! The result is fantastic. I love low action and I am able to get this even lower than I like The only thing it needs is a truss rod cover! I'm sorry to let it go but I am moving soon and have lots of gear to clear out. Will ship in a gig bag.

Is this a clone or a real Gibson that you purchased and refinished?
