Replace those ABM parts with regular Gotoh or Schaller ones, ditch the chrome pickup rings and put on plain black (or ebony?) ones. Then it would look great, there'd be nothing to draw your eyes away from the wood and the workmanship. :D

Just an opinion, o'course...

That fine tuning tail piece isn't fiddly.....very practical while playing, especially with a fresh set of strings or if a string breaks and you have to replace it during a gig.....have tried it, liked it a lot so i think its a actual improvement on an old design.......but thats just me.
Also if the guitar costs 3000 € +, why not put chrome pickup rings on the thing? More durable than plastic ones (yes i have had pickup rings break).
Well, for those of you who prefer simpler desigs check these out......

Post by: Adam.M on August 13, 2007, 02:19:15 AM: To me, that les paul just lacks an essential ingredient i call 'vibe'

It just looks... bland. Nice in a glass cabinet maybe, definately very functional, but it doesnt make me want to pick it up and play it.

And thats the ONLY thing a guitar needs to do for me.

Post by: Woogie on August 13, 2007, 01:05:47 PM: I think it looks really nice except for the headstock, I`m just not feeling that. I like the bridge etc, looks really chunky. I like a badass bridge ;). The wood in the pickups is a good touch also.

Post by: noodleplugerine on August 13, 2007, 01:21:17 PM: Taking another look at it - I think it would be fine if the bridge was a stoptail.

Also those pickup rings are hideous - They need to be replaced then it would be pretty.
