A morning with two LP’s

For those of you that read the "Making and Modding" section of the forum you may have seen my recent thread on the "swimming pool tele"...

A couple of days ago I paid to visit mr @customkits workshop to get the neck pocket routed out to the correct depth... Grrrrrrr...

Whilst I was there a couple of his builds were thrust into my hands and a phone pointed in my direction.

I have to say, Im not the biggest fan of Gibbo type stuff... but... these are miles away from anything I have played from Gibson.

The "replica" is simply f*&king stunning to play, for some reason there seems to be more "space" above the 12th (something to do with "true historic snail lengths" (god knows how you measure a snail in the first place).

But the tone... oh my giddy aunt... awesome sounding stuff...

Excuse the shonky playing, iPhone recording and knees on show...

Like i said, not a fan of Gibbo stuff at all... but next time I visit I will flutter my eye lashes and maybe show a bit more leg in the hopes I can sneak one away from him...

How I dream of being so shonky,

im not into LPs but p90 versions always sound great to me. I can possibly see a gold top in my future!

Speak to @customkits better than anything Gibson put out!...

Interesting .... Snail length. I've always relied on slugs personally

Jesus if that was "shonky" playing then god knows what mine is, sounded great (both guitar and player)

Sound and video clips always do it for me. Have to say @customkits ; those both sound superb right on the money, sure they play just as nice. Who would not want that special in their stash.

Great playing.

I've played a few of his guitars and the TV Yellow Special was the one that I found the most fun to play, but the bursts are always special.  Darren mentioned the Mojo Low Wind PAF's were great and they sound it for sure.
