I have to agree with twinfan on the signature les paul. I have one awaiting some crawlers, and i must say i love it. Oh and it's also a honeyburst 8)

Dave - whats the best source of the Signature LP's such as the one you snagged, cant find any info on them anywhere?!Thanks Ted :)

Hi Ted,

They're not making any more. They were a limited run for the UK that's long finished. eBay is you best bet.

Amazingly enough, a local guitar shop. :o
I walked in looking at some acoustics, and I saw this with the electrics. It was too good an offer to turn down so i picked it up, played it, and loved it the second I did. It is a quilt though, i'll try and get some pictures up if you would like sambo. Apparently only 180 honeyburst quilt tops were made by signature, and i was amazed to see a signature in the guitar shop, especially after hearing about dakine's a long time ago, and how hard it is to get any information on them.

Hey Buddha - do you know how many Sigs were made in total? Or the numbers of other colours/tops?

Dave, I saw a signature LP in Leeds Musicground for £499. It was a lemondrop/brown ish colour and the burst was very very subtle. Quite nice guitar but the neck seemed too skinny and the frets were tiny, like only 1.5-2mm off the fretboard. If the neck was a bit fatter and the frets bigger I might have bought it. What is the neck and frets on yours like?

Twinfan · « **Reply #38 on:** December 09, 2007, 10:30:20 PM »

Sounds similar to mine. The neck is more 60s Gibson than 50s, and it's slick to play with low frets.

Was it a flame/quilt/plain top? Much figuring?

Thanks for that Rob.

Had just come across Mc Guitars actually.

Enquiring about one of their Epi Juniors as we speak! :D

Heh theyre only about 8 miles up the road from me these days, so I will have to get around to paying them a visit (I'm lusting after a nice tele or LP DC these days)

It was a flame top and it had quite strong grains running in both directions. The neck profile was about the same width as my LP studio but a lot shallower and overall it felt very small. It's a very nice guitar but the neck might be a problem for some. Tokai necks are very fat and chunky and some may prefer them.

Not as strong as mine then? (blatant excuse to post flame top pic ;))

LazyNinja · « **Reply #42 on:** December 10, 2007, 12:07:08 AM »

lol the sideways flame wasn't as strong but the vertical ones were stronger :P

A bit like this one

this might have been posted already, but i don't have the patience to scroll through all the comments.

I think this might be their official site.
