Ok, blown away by this one... absolutely blown away...
I had the pleasure of playing this guitar a couple of times... it is without doubt absolutely fuggin awesome... in every bloody respect!...
its an LP special lovingly hand built by Mr
@customkits.
Now, I cannot stand anything Gibson put out, they feel wrong!... however this particular beast of a guitar uses the correct historic snail length... (still unsure as why snails are used, hope none were harmed in anyway)... it is proper vintage Gibson spec!... it plays unlike any modern LP I’ve owned, thrown out, borrowed, thrown out, etc standards, R8’s Murphy’s... all cack in comparison...
mojo p90’s... oh my giddy aunt, these things nearly destroyed my 5e3 at last nights gig!... monster sounding guitar!...
why am am I blown away?... apart from the bleeding obvious (looks, playability etc)... its been “donated” to me on permanent loan!!!!!!!!!!!
I do not have the words to describe how humbled I am by this!...
pics below, video to follow soon!
Peace out ladies!...

It's made with all light weight limba body and neck with a bubinga fretboard, it's got a traditional truss rod with the old fret scale, it changed after 1960 i think when they went modern scale length, it's also just a nod to a special as its actually got a normal LP long tenon because i didn't want the full 6mm lip alongside the fretboard in the cutaway
Anyway I'm pleased with how it turned out, I'm sure @poopot will give it a hammering
