Guitars anyone???

Hi guys, it's been a while since I didn't post something so here's my '72 les paul deluxe conversion to humbuckers made a long time ago. I bought it in a really bad shape and since I'm an occasional luthier, i tried my best to give her a second youth. So here's the before/after

Before:

And after sanded it a lot to return to the original varnish, I put some Joe Bonamassa's SD custom shop pickup, some '59 parts, all the electronics redone also and now here it is.

It's one of those which when you try it it's like there's something special happening, so happy to have it in my collection, for sure the best guitar I ever owned.

Here's also another I bought 2 weeks before, a '78 Les Paul 25/50:

Recently ordered my first ever custom build.

The anticipation iS KILLING me.

Here are the only updates I've received so far.
It's gonna be mean.

@Freeman Wow! Did you get to pick the body or did you give them specs? Size, shape, weight,...

Exciting!!!

@goosehd It's a full custom.

It's going to be a 7 string baritone Tele Deluxe.
In vintage white.
Single humbucker in the bridge.

I love the fact that passions have their own language. I was at a party recently and was describing the damage to SAKURA that me and P managed to do, to a friend. After my monologue, he said, "well, I understood about 10% of that"....

@Giles ahahaha. "The floop has been damaged by the fluff on the port side'

[Giles]

Actiually, it was the tranny on the stbd side

@Freeman Very nice! Who's the builder? (Not exactly your average specs). Some great looking pieces of wood.

[Freeman]

@JunkPants Its a guy called Dennison Guitars who works out of Crimson Guitars in Dorset UK.

@Freeman Very cool, wasn't familiar with him (I'm admittedly a bit out of the loop these days), but had a look and it seems like he does great work. And if there's one thing I enjoy (at least) as much as denim photos it's build update shots of guitars, so please keep them coming.
