Great score that is and looks lovely 

I was quite tempted by the CS Les Paul Junior gold top but someone beat me too it. Probably for the best

Lovely guitar. I have a 3xP90 (actually P100) model, 2011 run as my main guitar. Will post pics later, its had a hard life!

I noticed a Pelham Blue version of your advertised on Facebook just now for £975... quick £400 score for the seller!

Really...? That’s poor, why wouldn’t you enjoy it.

 I’d like to see yours, I’m amazed at how comfortable it is

Just took a few kitchen table shots. I did warn you it's had a hard life:

That's a great looking guitar, is it all original? I'm adding a Maestro to my next build, which is a NR Firebird.

Many thanks @MattNovak

No, it started life with 3 p90s and a stop tail. I've also rewired it (couldn't resist) and it's got a Lollar p90 in the bridge position. Great guitar, stupidily sold it some years ago but got it back last year.

Interesting to note that yours has much rounder body edges than mine (2011) and the most recent ones. Something I'll keep in mind when I get the router out on this:

Cool, that looks like it'll be a rather fine geetar.

My Burdy is a custom shop one albeit I'm not saying that as a badge of honour or anything. Just in case that explains the body shaping or not. I've played and owned quite a few of these and the one I have now is probably the best player I've had. Heard an old 60s one that sounded the part but played very badly. Some of the modern ones are really great sounding guitars.

Nice looking guitar. I was very tempted by them as they were an absolute bargain, if they had been fitted with P90 pickups I wouldn’t have been able to resist. Firebird pickups sound excellent but I already have them in one of my many guitars. However there is some regret that I didn’t buy one at the bargain price.

Oof, stunner. Those brown ones with the three soapbars are the dogs dangly bits.
