I didn't mean to go down that road. I just meant that neither will be made by Gibson or Fender. I should have just said that! 

No no, point appreciated matey, no offence taken. 

I dont have the link, I was just idly youtube'ing the other night Gibson Replicas or summat similar. Was only a couple of minutes long, and a very nice build by the looks of it too. Was TV Yella too. Not as nice as mine tho

If I re-find it I'll PM ya.

Search for Youtube member Chris Reed and title NGD Les Paul Special Replica, headstock's at 01:03.

Nice one. It does look classy, if a little odd at first. I must admit, though, I'd probably go for the full logo myself, given the choice, with a personalised serial too. 

TV Yellow is such a cool finish! 

jd0272

TBH I think that logo 'solution' is the nuts, I quite wish I'd seen it prior.

And aye, TV Yella' the Boss. 

Quite amusing when John asked "So you want it relic'd? D'you want it Relic'd, or Johnny Thunder'd?"

I went for relic'd.

It's a wee bit darker than Thunder's LAMF Jnr I'd say. fingerboard is almost black braz rosewood, nicely rolled edges, lush.

I had to google Johnny Thunder TV Yellow - you made the right choice!

It sounds great, you're a lucky man! 

By Sunday, you say, yes?

Yeah I should have an hour to myself between now and then. Remember tho, it's just a few bits of wood cobbled together and painted yellow, dont be gettin' too excited

^^^^^^^

Notice the ridged stop bar, intonates just great. Pigtail longer steel studs, can't remember the name of the tailpiece manufacturer.

Asked John for a big heel, I like the feel of one, and it's more mass.
