Thanks Fernando - not so dumb at computers!  :D

Here's my effort.... wanted to keep it as simple as possible, though I do like a bit of binding (and yes there is some resemblance to a certain Feline):

You know you want it... :lol:

I was seriously wondering about it before christmas but realised I just can't justify it - amongst my others it probably wouldn't be "No 1". My missus pointed out that the sensible option would be to sell some to get it, and I realised I didn't want it enough to lose any of the existing ones...

And, btw, I couldn't figure out how to get my creation on to here either Philly (possibly a good thing :roll:) - I might give it another go when I'm back at home...

Well, it did have to be based on an LP shape - if I could've, I'd have gone for a set-neck Tele...  :P

If I actually went and tried it, then - assuming the weight and neck shape are right - I know I would indeed want it!  :lol:  But like you, I can't justify it.  Despite my stupidly large guitar collection, there's not much left I really want to get rid of.  And let's face it, I can barely play, it's crazy to spend that kind of money.

Since I haven't tried it and I'm a "safe" distance away, there are a couple of details I'm not 100% keen on - the block inlays are beautiful but maybe a bit too bold for me, and I would prefer a narrower LP Standard style headstock (I've never liked the wider headstocks).  That's being really picky, but it is £2,000!

I think it's best if it remains a fantasy.
