LPF inspired singlecut by Heatley

Built by Scott Heatley on Vancouver Island. His LP-inspired 'Tradition' model - mahogany, mahogany, maple and braz. Some lovely P90s to finish the recipe. When pondering the finish for it I knew I wanted it to look 'old', like a guitar which had already faded. Scoured the internet for the right example and found it here on the LPF up top, that beautiful amber/caramel LP with the dark board. I've had to resize the pic a bit so it's not the greatest, but you get the idea.

Only arrived today so we're still getting acquainted, but thus far I'm pretty bowled over. Scott has built me a few, I keep going back because he's a good guy and his ears seem to agree with mine regarding good tone. When he said I was going to like this one especially I was excited to hear it. Think I've 5 or 6 hours on it today - nearly 10pm but the night is young. :)

Thought you might enjoy seeing this fine LPF-inspired beast.

Cheers!

Love the figure on the top & the dark RW board is stellar , Ive passed on many Gibson's just because of the RW color !
