• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

An exciting day today Peter is coming to pick up his new GT Midnight Special from Matt/Banker and bringing everything he owns to show us- so we will eat 'Cue BBQ, and N Atl joint with some good pig, and get sauce over Peter's favorite fiddles, and take his new guitar for a spin. I can't seem to forward the pic off instagram but it has a great aged gold, no PG and Tyson P90's.
I love meeting the folks here on LPF- and I am particularly excited about Peter getting his new Guit from Matt. These things are really something.

I'm going to do a full porno shoot tomorrow.

Its like some kind of crazy ass mashup.... kind of a dream guitar, plus some stuff I didn't dream of

what if a 56 les paul and a tele had a baby but that baby was made of sinker mahogany? I guess thats it...

Sinker mahogany, a T-style body, a relic gold top (some of you will hate me for that but pardon my OCD. If it was perfect then the first ding would kill me so I avoid that with it being pre-dinged) ivory binding, custom damascus steel hardware, a chunky neck.


The tone matches the aesthetics. If you were to say a les paul is like a Tele on Steroids I think this one is best described as a Tele with Balls (sorry... but thats really what it sounds like!) theres some twang but there is some really rich bassy midrange that is so powerful... got to be that wood that sat in some swamp for a few hundred years

here's a taste!





I know right!!??

And it was a great day of blasting a pile of badass guitars through some badass amps. Here are a few more shots of the gold guitar, and a few others I’ve wrapped up recently.
