Guitar is SLIGHTLY thinner that a stock Standard Les Paul. Thus this is how you get a 8lb won't break your back Les Paul. Comes in a Nice Brown Reissue Case
Great for the guy with a bad back, wants the VINTAGE look and tone and not too expensive.
Basically this was Pro Done by Dan Shinn of Lays Guitar. He is one of the best around, and a personal friend of mine. This is Nitro Finish, New Frets, ALL Done Unreal. And was time consuming****
It looks like a Vintage 1957 Gold Top, even the Black marker on back of headstock like Gibson did back then. You got to think outside the Box in life, same with Guitars. Even being a 92 Studio LP they have some serious Tone. Inlays in neck as old vintage. It's a Fun Axe and Just Feels Right!
Look at the last picture next to another K@@L Build - Conversion Dan also done. You can see it is a hair thinner. You never know unless up against another LP. Point being, you ever wanted a Lighter LP Gold Top. Built by one Master Luthier not a assembly line production factory Gibson? Here is that chance.. Think outside the BOX people...:)
