I’ve been trying to order an M2M Les Paul since June, I decided this weekend to try to throw something together so I could see if it actually looked as cool as I’ve been picturing in my head!
I started out just going for an R4 but once I asked for the 5-piece neck I realized it would look way better with back binding so now I’m going for a Custom. Fingers crossed they can make me an alnico staple pickup with cream (or white) plastics!! Only ever seen pics of black ones out of the factory
When I was asking about the standard they said flat out “no” to an ebony board with the split parallelogram inlays. But I’m hoping that now it’s a custom they’ll do it!
There’s a lot of mismatched stuff in the mock up because I had to Frankenstein it using bits and pieces of other guitars I found on google images haha. But it’s nice to get a rough idea of what it might actually look like!
Edit: looks like the full mock up is a little small when I uploaded it here to the forum, here's an imgur link!
