finally got my custom guitar today!!!!

i have this guy named ramon momcilovic who lives in birmingham.. he used to work in the burns guitar factory so he is an excellent luthier, six months ago i asked him to build a custom guitar for me based on the specification of my old gibson classic but with little "extras" ... today i got the delivery!!! yay!!!
here goes the specifications:

top: i chose my own flamed maple top for this guitar .. highly figured!!!
body: 3 piece solid mahagony .. the best we can get from lumber yard
neck: two piece mahagony
fretboard: indian rosewood
inlays: green abalone
binding : body and headstock 3 ply ... neck 1 ply
hardware: all gold
pickups: gibson's "BurstBucker Pro" pickups with Alnico V magnets
controls: 2 volume 2 tone and one 3 way selector switch ...
electronics: on-board black ice preamp
special: he couldnt do my signature on 12th fret so he did on top of my headstock ...

the tone is just excellent ..even better than my gibson (on the bridge pickup) ... a dream come true...finally i have a figured top les paul

P.S: dont mind ma goofy smile in the last pic... iwas so adrenaline rushed!!

 

will post some pics as i have to reduce them in size to save the webspace .. wait for it

 

awesome! looks like ***.

 

dont get me wrong i mean looked like s*x...its a beauty.

 

some more pics........

 

i have to agree with scary on that one ... that is one good looking guitar :shock: ...

well u r one lucky guy dude to get ur hands on that sorta guitar ... that too all custom-built just the way u want it ... but just wondering ... how much did it come for ?????

 

Its awesome dude!:nw:......I am turning green....:

 

the material costs added upto 350 pounds and ramon charged me 400 pounds for the labour and consultations... guess i'll be paying off ma debts for next 2 years now...

 

ok so that comes to 750 pounds for a guitar that is totally unique ... i ould say that's a small price to pay :

and btw what's a luthier ???

 

^^ 750 pounds is a huge thing for me tho!! hehehe ... and a luthier is a craftsman who takes guitar building as a profession...

 

750 is a good price, i'm sure that guitar you just built would retail to about 1000 or 1250

 

Really nice LP man! Nice choice in colour,hardware and that black pickguard :

Any pics of the headstock?

 

AHHHHHH....*orgasms*

 

im going to steal ur guitar.... beware of me.....

i want it......
