A little late to the conversation... but oh my goodness, that guitar is a show-stopper. Really, REALLY beautiful work, @Mike. Congratulations to you and to its proud owner!
Here's one you don't see come around that often. An original Hamer branded "Bobby Lee" Vintage Checkerboard Guitar Strap in excellent condition.
Makes a pretty great early Christmas present, no?
(SOLD)
Thanks, gang!
Here's my one and only reissue Les Paul. 2018 R8 VOS Historic. I swapped out the pickups early on for one of Josh Gravelin's lovely PAF's (neck) and a Lollar Imperial, low wind (bridge). Gonna hang onto this one for as long as the fates permit.
Echoing the sentiments of everyone here on this thread, Mike. Wishing you a return to wellness, however long that takes, and all of the good things that flow from it.
