It is my own concoction. I had an Epi LP Studio with a broken headstock and I made a Firebird headstock for it. Something a little different. Kinda weird to some I kind of like it. I get lots of questions when I play out with it. I put an ebony fretboard on it with a new truss rod, Dimarzio Classic PAF pickups and new pots and what not. It sounds decent and I really like the way it plays.

I remember that project. This is the first time I've seen the results. I like it. Patent it before Gibson claims it as their own.

Thought it might be an old Epi Wilshire neck on a LP:

Black is the new black

My favorite of all my guitars is my Schecter Blackhawk. It's the first really decent guitar I've owned, and the kicker is that I bought it from a friend for $100. Sweet.

And the SG Special that I'm holding on to at the moment:

I've barely touched the SG, since I'm giving it to my ex-girlfriend's son, who has wanted to learn guitar for some time now.

I love this guitar. It's had the pickups replaced with SD '59's and I switched the pots for CTS's. I also installed a Gibson TP-6 tailpiece. It plays and sounds great!

I always had a thing for white guitars and your LP is sweet.

It's funny how I love white guitars, but only owned one and it only lasted two or three days before I sold it.
