That's actually pretty cool.

[Naz Nomad]

I have to disagree, it's hideous:

[SuperSwede]

Cool! A lot of "The Cult" feeling over that Les Paul.

I have to disagree ,it has a certain thing going on that is appealing.Dont ask me what the "thing is exactly.But yea I dig it.

I thought it was a Zemaitis guitar until looking closely.

[pes_laul]

I like it: has a cool vibe to it, though what exactly is it? I cant read the headstock.

It's something I don't GAS for, but I appreciate the work that has gone into it. Reminds me of the artwork and labor that has gone into a show bike at a chopper show. It's been converted into a piece of art.

[sunvalleylaw]

I like it. Not a look I could pull off, but I like it for someone who can.

It's just a custom painted Gibson Les Paul Standard. If I was doing a Cult tribute band I'd be all over this in a second.

[peachhead***]

I don't think I would spend the money on it but it's really interesting. Someone very artistic put a lot of thought into it.

[Kodiak3D]

I love it. I want one too.

[duhvoodooman***]

I'd rather look at Syd's friend in your avatar than this guitar, Sting! :

[Tone2TheBone]

I think that looks dang cool. I'd put white pup rings on it and black coil Duncan Custom 5s though.

[Kazz]

Im with peach...its not getting me to dig into my pocket book...but I do like it.

[dws]

Frightening, but I'd definitely play it. Certainly would draw some attention to yourself.

[Plank_Spanker]

I bet it sounds a tad "tinny".......................


Won't the sound dull as the finish tarnishes........................


Questions..............................

I like the art work. Not something I could pull off, but then again I only play at home anyway.

I think being able to customize your instrument to this level would be very attractive to a lot of musicians... but hearing stories of how working bands sometimes struggle with things most of us take for granted (food/shelter), I'm not sure this would be in their reach.

But for someone with a few extra $$ in their pocket, this looks like a great way to express yourself.

I wonder if the next stage in this art would be to create 'wraps' like they do for vehicles?... Something that could be later removed without harming the finish of the instument?

[Iago]

Sorry guys but.. Ughh!

Though, I went out to buy strings the other day and I saw this on a store:

I have to GAS for a Les Paul from time to time...
