Check out my new weird Les Paul

[TattooedCarrot]

I just bought it yesterday morning from Dave's guitars for only $1,450. It's a one-off 2002 Les Paul Custom prototype. It is double bound with binding on the back, an ebony board, and weighs 9.9 lbs of pure Honduran mahogany tone !! It comes with the case (of course).

Nice.

It looks strange, and I don't know why. [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

Looks strange 'cause it is missing the big fret markers and pickguard. But it still looks very nice. I am partial to the MOP fret markers though. They look real classy on an LP Custom.

Just noticed its missing the split diamond headstock logo and it has chrome hardware. Also, blank truss rod cover. Did I miss anything else??? [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

Carrot, that's a beauty! How'd you pick that up for such a good price (if I may ask). LMK when you're ready to trade it [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Very nice [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] but it does look strange without the MOP fret markers.

I don't know why it was so cheap, I got it from Daves's Guitars which is a reputable dealer. It was a prototype for a custom version of the limited colors line. The customs never went into production (just the studios did) and Dave's aquired the three prototypes. This cooper one, a red one w/gold hardware, and a frost blue one. As of yesterday the copper and blue had been sold but the red is still there.

I have EMG's for it, which would look better:

Black EMG 81/85

or

Chrome EMG 81/81 (anniversary)

Re: Check out my new weird Les Paul

Thats cool. I like the lack of inlays and the orange color. The orange kind of looks like the new Cadillac color.

Re: Check out my new weird Les Paul

Very very cool Carrot, though I'm a sucker for the block inlays on LP Customs too, but very cool and a great price as well!! The red one sounds cool....
