Epiphone Les Paul Slash November Burst guitar - $550
QR Code Link to This Post
I started with the shell/husk of an EPIPHONE LES PAUL SLASH model; completely stripped of all parts. it had a nasty neck crack. The headstock did not separate, but it was broken. The first thing I did was to have the neck professionally repaired by KEITH HOLLAND GUITAR HOSPITAL in Los Gatos, CA.. While it was in the shop, I ordered fresh parts: a set of great sounding humbuckers, a push/pull harness, and some fun dress up items like a pick guard for an Epi 339. Upon receiving the guitar husk back from Keith Holland, the repair was and is SOLID!!! The neck straight and no compromise. It does have a scar, but I think it looks cool and adds character. I then installed the pickups; knobs up- Humbucker, knobs down- single coil sound. added everything else, and it looks and sounds great!! I put thick strings on it.
truss cover will be replaced (the custom cover has my name on it, so I'll hang onto that)
I hate to let it go, but family comes first. I will build another when I retire.
my loss: your gain.
