johnnieboy Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 I have something rather interesting. Built by a quality small shop luthier from scratch, no pre-built body or neck here. Body is chambered mahogany in a slightly oversized 'Tele' shape. Has a greenish but nice finish that does not completely obscure the nice mahogany grain, very appealing to me. The electronics are a high quality P90 in the neck and an LR Baggs acoustic Bridge, tunomatic style. Topped off with the Baggs Control X preamp, blending system and stereo capable with 'Y' cable.. One blending control, one tone and one volume control. These ingredients alone cost about $500. The neck is solid cocobolo and chunky, yet comfortable w/maple board and 'sort of' jumbo frets. Neck is good and straight with good intonation. Grover tuners. Hardware on this is great stuff! By the way, that's a small dobro ring in the upper bout...and there's an LED inside the cavity that lights up when it's plugged in. The electronics cavity has a solid wood cover, not plastic, talk about unique features!!! It's not a light weight, but has power and sustain that rivals any genuine Les Paul I've played. THE COLOR OF THE BODY IS MOST CORRECT IN THE PICTURE OF THE 'FULL BODY'. If the price is right it's yours if interested. Comes with a brand new hard case. Offer over $400 shipped??? Here are the pics:

johnnieboy Posted July 25, 2007 Author Posted July 25, 2007 I think it looks a bit like a MusicVoxWell, some folks called it ugly on one forum...really hurt my feelings. I'll consider offers over $400 shipped.
