As good as the inlay work is I wouldn't hold out too much hope for its actual quality as an instrument.

Might be worth getting an eastern LP copy like an Aria or an Agile and sending it off for similar inlay work.

Would be more expensive and time-consuming but at the very least you would have a guarantee to a quality instrument and you would even be able to decide on the final design.
I too use chicken as a measurement.

Wasn't going to buy it or anything, but heck, I've never seen an inlay like that on a Les Paul!

Not sure about, the inlay is cool, but not sure of its location
