It's inventive, but it looks horrible.

Those will be like the run of smaller toms that Mike Portnoy is so fond of using, like the ones at the top of this pic:

I thought you'd like it!
Ever since Gibson bought Steinberger you've been hoping?

I'd say you're being too kind to Gibson!

(and yes, this is wrong on almost every level)

Post by: ToneMonkey on February 18, 2010, 12:53:19 PM: I notice it says "Burny" at the top of the page.......... which incidentally would be my advise. I also lik ethe use of the wrong size screws for the nut/bridge/whatever you'd call it.

Post by: AndyR on February 18, 2010, 01:11:50 PM: Good to see someone putting "fender-type" vintage slotted tuners on a Les Paul...

(My personal favourite sort of tuner... and I always try to find something nice to say when I contribute to a thread)

But other than that... oh dear, oh dear, oh dear...

sheessh!! :lol:

Post by: Antag on February 18, 2010, 02:26:36 PM: Perhaps it was an Epi & he was ashamed to be seen with Epiphone on the headstock? If it was a Gibson, it's a vile profanity above all else (well, except some of the things Gibson themselves have done... :))
Title: Re: Unusual LP modification or broken headstock?
Post by: MrBump on February 18, 2010, 05:00:21 PM: When I first saw it I thought that someone had tried to fit Steinberger style double-ball strings on it.

I suspect a broken headstock that they tried to be creative in fixing...

Oh dear...

I think the web page says it was a Burny. Still, there is no excuse.

Post by: Simon D on February 21, 2010, 05:15:36 PM: For something that so much thought clearly went into, it's all kinds of wrong. It's a shame http://thereifixedit.com/ doesn't have a guitar section, cos that's where this thing belongs!

Post by: Lukie on February 24, 2010, 12:09:01 AM: I don't like those splayed strings over the bridge. Guess they had to space them out to fit the tuning pegs in.
