I decided to let a local artist, who was recommended to me by Rob DiStefano (the man who built my yellow Esquire) make a few "adjustments" to my Les Paul. Those adjustments would be adding pinstriped binding to the neck and body as well as hitting the satin finish with several coats of poly to really make it shine.

Here's how it looked before modification:



Here's how it ended up (just added the new speed knobs a short while ago):



The completed project exceeded my expectations. I think I am going to have some sort of custom graphics work done to my Charvel SoCal next, a la DiMartini.

Anyway, hope you dig it.
