sweet stuff, I love how the back of the neck has the burst effect aswell.
Also reverse headstock and abalone is also to my liking.
But the big question how does it play and sound?Comment

OK. Now about specs and tone.
I always liked the tone and feel of 70's sunburst Les Paul Customs with maple necks (that add a definition to the attack), but for a number of reasons Les Pauls are very uncomfortable for me (plus I prefer a longer scale).
So I decided to have a 70's Les Paul alike tone in a shape of Soloist: Maple quartersawn neck with ebony fretboard and cream binding, mahogany body with 1/8" maple top. And Cherry Sunburst finish of course. Sunburst on a neck back is also 70's LP feature. Quilt maple and abalone is a node to Les Paul Elegant model (once produced by Gibson Custom Shop). I supposed that black hardware and zebra pu's will blen great with finish and I'm happy to see it's true.
The pickups are Seymour Duncan TB-4 bridge, SSL-5 middle and SH-2 neck.
The wiring is typical to your average H-S-H combo with one exception: 3rd position is not middle single on, but outer coils of humbuckers in parallel. This kind of wiring gives nice "semi-hollow" kind of clean tone. Combined with strat-influenced 2nd and 4th positions it gives a good variety of clean tones which adds a lot to versality.
The tone is very similar to 70's LesPaul - rich, full but with tighter bottom and more defined attack. And with option of kinda stratty cleans.
Oh, and I also shifted a bit the controls to remove the volume knob from being to close to my pinky. Not a big problem on a regular soloist, but you expect custom built guitar to be 100% matching your taste
And 6100 frets. Never liked vintage tiny frets.Because I don't say it
