Re: SDUG Ultimate Axe - Category 3; Les Paul Copies

FLY MOJO:

- Single Cut
- Stop Tail
- Dual Bucker

And a heartfelt argument. I'll allow it. There is very likely another well known Fly going to be entered then. Better make the pics count....

You CAN put more than one pic here. But, at the time of selection, I pic ONE pic. Better hope I pic the one you like....

I actually really like that. Did you sand it before you burnt it? How did you do the burning?

Sanded the top, then said "F*CK this ~4mm thick finish!" and used a heat gun and chisel (which also took off the back veneer, which is fine anyways). I got one tiny tiny tiny burn from the heat gun on the wood, and I instantly had this great idea of:

I had to make sure I didn't end up doing one of those Fender Road Worn relic jobs that are well known here. I don't think I went that far. The guitar also has a neat story of writing on it that you can't see in the picture, which is probably best haha.

Some say Heritage is the original Gibson. If you believe that, than I offer this:

My 1993 Heritage H-150 (B-Stock):
Contains prototype SH-55 pickups, hand-signed by both Seymour Duncan and the late Seth Lover, here seen in a publicity shot for the Seth Lover pickup that was eventually used in a print advert with the headline "Master & Mentor."

The guitar came to me from Heritage with no pickups, so these are the original pickups.

Sorry Evan, as much as I philosophically agree with that, believe that it is one righteous LP, and can't deny the whole mojo of it being on a magazine with Seymour...

It's a Heritage and will have to compete against Genes Shulte and others in the LP copy category. The fact that my gloss is broke is not is influencing this decision. I would not change my mind even if I woke up tomorrow and found out I was a SmokinLesPaulologist. But you don't know that for sure - so go ahead and fix my gloss if it will make you feel like you did everything you could.

PS - There will be no handicap for B stock. My Norlin #1 is a second as well. Not a dang thing wrong with it!

Purely only my opinion.

Still a fine stable of contenders from the last time and I see a couple have returned for this go around.

Here's the only pic of mine it's an Agile AL-2000 it weighs right around 10.5 pounds and aside from the GFS Crunchy Pat in the bridge it's totally stock.

Lookout! Some of last seasons top competitors just hit the field!!!

Gene - delete all of those; They detract from actual entires - please.

Evan - AMAZING cover. But a better pic of that guitar would really help your chances.
