Daves Custom 3 pickup Les Paul

and ready to Finish tomorrow Attachment 22698

Awesome man!!!! :) Gonna put black hardware in it?

Yes Pitbul had it made special and shipped with the 3 Humbuckers routed out and you get 3 pickups as well black outers and chrome covers
black knobs and a black pick guard. I have not decided on the final wiring yet that will be next week. I am thinking maybe 1 tone control which I tend not to use and 3 volume controls but then what to do with the switch. I suppose it could be a quick tone change eg turn off the upper pickup. Or the middle pickup to go back to standard setup.
To many options but not very adventurous with a spdt switch.

shame you painted it you could have done a Ace Frehley Budokan which is a awesome guitar had one years ago would have been easier to do i'll be watching how this one goes

Yes 3 pickups the bead was ivory in colour and extremely thin on front edge there was no way in hell I was going to try to keep the bead unpainted.

Cool finish.

Here is the finished spray job. 2K HS clear acryl The temperature was lower than I wanted to spray so it will take longer to cure.
So It will be strung up for the weekend then I will build it up. I hate spray cans they produce so much over spray. HVLP spray guns are so much better. No More cans for me. Sounds Like I will be sanding back my strat and respraying with 2k HS clear real soon.
