Re: LP Guys...look at this, and tell me...what you see.

a kickass paul in seethrough white finish with abalone binding, chrome hardware and a '59 set?

or do you want info on THAT piece of wood over there

and the controll holes are a bit off.. after a closer look, the bridge/tailpiece holes are a bit off center.. all 4 of em

im not a les paul guy but isnt the top left control a bit close to the where the tail piece is gonna go?

Hmmm...that could cause problems with the neck volume knob, couldn't it?

Thats my biggest concern, and that bridge pickup is very close to the bridge.

ok, the bridge is kind of ok, the tailpiece holes are still a bit weird though.. and the control holes are too near to the tailpiece. the bridge hum is still a bit close

Nice Les Paul dude!

The bridge is cool, the tail I think is ok, Its that control hole I dont think youll get a knob on it, not a les paul knob anyway, Im liking this thing, but I wish I could touch it.

Something's not right. The cutout doesn't look Gibson. I think it's an American Heritage. That's not a bad thing, tho.

I know it isnt a gibson, but my concern is its some kind of a reject for having holes in the wrong place and I dont want to buy a peice of firewood.

Here's some Warmoth LP's. They're definitely different.

If I'm not mistaken, the heel is rounded.

I mean I know its not a Gibson by the holes and the slight curvature difference but the heel... I can't believe no one else saw that.

A "B" body that's got enough problems to make this guy pawn it off onto someone else.
The problem is you won't know how many problems till you start putting the neck, hardware, and electronics on it. The volume knob will be resting against the tailpiece.
The strings won't line up nicely, and you'll be out $200, angry as hell that you didn't realize the old saying "Only a Gibson is Good Enough."
