obviously that's a 59, but poke around that website. A guy on MLP built one of their guitars and it looks amazing. He says it plays really well too. Much better than warmoth stuff

Re: LP replica builders
I played one of these. He builds them. Its a 50s Strandard too. Larry uses top notch parts. Not a custom but these rival CS Les Pauls in tone and feel.

If your looking for just a husk you could ask Larry if he would make one. If not he may be able to point you in the right direction.

Re: LP replica builders
No replica builder is going to build and sell a hulk of a guitar and let the end user finish it and while we're at it no replica builder is going to have a guitar in the $2500 price range...
What do you want...I know you are saying Custom but you said not 59...do you mean not a Standard as in a burst or what??

Re: LP replica builders
Does anyone have a recommendation of who might be able to build a replica of the Gibson Les Paul Tom Scholz model? I like the signature model but just can't see buying a guitar that is intentionally beat up and stained and scratched (even Scholz' old holes are replicated). I like Scholz' new color (removing the orginal gold).....and his replacing his bridge pickup.....but hope someone can replicate the '68 Les Paul and create a NOS model. Thanks for any recommendations!

Re: LP replica builders
If you buy a replica you'll drop more on it than your would the Scholz model...
Just buy the Gibson sig or buy a P-90 Gold Top or Deluxe and sand the paint off...on a budget you could even use a BFG and fix it up the way you want it.

Re: LP replica builders
Very good points......thanks! I don't think they exist but would like to find a 7.25 neck radius Les Paul.
Thanks....what is a BFG? http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/gibson-les-paul-70s-tribute-electric-guitar I admit when I see an entry level Red Wine colored Les Paul like the one there it would be hard to want to change colors and maybe just change out the bridge pickup to replicate Scholz's bridge pickup.

Re: LP replica builders
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/gibson-lpj-electric-guitar/h90746000001000 Found another model without the pretty stuff. Thanks for the recommendation. The BFG model is out of stock............not sure when returning. Not sure what LPJ means either....what's with the initials for these lower costing guitars up front? Thanks!

Re: LP replica builders
No idea about the LPJ...I suggested the BFG because it already has a P-90/Humbucker set up...
They are discontinued I think but there are LOADS of used ones out there...
