    Would the Silent Baritone you're referring to be found in the FrankenLab Experiment #2 thread? I just found it (as well as the entire Non Pit Bull Guitars side of the forum) and I am in awe! I'm sure whatever pickups you put in there, that guitar will sound amazing. Now I know where to direct questions when I start building scratchies.

    Thanks again for the compliment and the very thoughtful offer... but I think it might keep it.

    yeah that’s the one, it is a bit of a concept build. Thanks for the kind words, if I can clear out some of the lingering kit builds I can get some focus back on that one.
    i can understand you wanting to hold on to that LP, I know I would!
