I'm always put off my Gordon Smith's use of wrapover bridges - I'd much rather have a proper decent TOM.

We can certainly help but the price point may be the stumbling block
We have a pretty fair selection of already made axes which we are only too happy to do deals on, but making an LP type guitar will start at £1800-ish

I do have a Lion junior - flat top LP type with 2x HB that sounded freakin awesome  (a bit heavy but what a tone!). Still at the paintshop being done and will be back in a week or so.

you wouldn't use the meat knife on crusty bread but, equally, the serrated knife and straight edge knife aren't going to go through raw meat as quickly

It does look grand natural, I think it's the binding - it really sets it off.

Needs a trussrod cover though.  :wink:

It's a work in progress as you sit it there
I have it booked in for a vintage 2 tone sunburst and it will get a truss rod cover!

If I remember from badgermark's topic - Gordon Smith are the dogs bollicks. And not the good dogs bollicks. The dogs bollicks after being neutered type of ones.

EDIT: Was going to quote from the post but there were too many,
