Hello BKP people! :D
Here it is a Lefty Mirror Custom built by Bob at Legra guitars and it plays amazing. Looks much nicer in real life and is quite hard to take pictures of without the flash ruining the picture.
Anyway looks are merely subjective, up to you but it has wowed everyone that seen it so far 8)
Specs:
Basswood Body
One piece maple neck
AANJ
Rosewood f/b
Original Floyd Rose + Nut
Gotoh tuners
Nailbomb - Irish Tour - Nailbomb
Push Button Killswitch
Push/Pull knobs for Coil tapping
Chrome finish and pickguard
First thing I noticed after the shock of the wait finally ending was how acoustically resonant it was unplugged and how low the action was. The neck is the fastest I ever played but the action would be a large factor of that. Pickups are amazing have to dime everything to get microphonics its crazy how quiet and dynamic they can get at ear splitting volumes. Pinches ring out and it sustains so sweetly. Well all in all it plays and sounds great so I am very happy. Cheers Bob :)

You can see it on Bobs site: http://www.legraguitars.co.uk/jd633.htm
Also I done a cover of Cave by Muse on youtube which might give an idea of the nailbombs quality

Lovely!!!

Very cool. I saw that on Bobs website earlier today - never heard of Legra before today, but their guitars look very nice. He's just down the road from me too...
I like the Anne Bolyen one - used to go drinking in the Anne Bolyen pub from which the wood was taken, I believe.
Mark.

That is an amazing guitar. I'd take it over a JEM any day. It looks almost invisible in the photos :D
-
Thanks guys glad you like it!
That Boleyn guitar made from the teak over the pub is a very cool story of the guitars history :D Especially seeing that you used to drink there
-
I don't usually like that type of instrument at all, but if I was having one, I'd be having that. A handsome looking beast.

That neck looks killer!

Hi Woogie,
the only reason it didn't is because the professional pics we had taken were lost.
Sorry,

Ah don't worry! I know it's good ;)
