Slow month for finished builds so might as well jump in.
This is my LPM-1 kit I got some time ago on the super discount as the first owner had sanded right through the flame maple cap and returned it to PBG for a replacement.
Had to go for solid colour to cover all the timbermate but I am very happy with the end result.
It uses all standard parts except for the pickup surrounds, knobs, and the pickguard and trussrod cover which I shaped myself out of an old tele pickguard.
I modified it to a single volume and tone control and shifted the pickup switch down to the other controls to try and make it look clean and simple. Painted it with dupli-colour automotive spray cans (including the back control cover) then hand scraped the bindings before clear coating. The colour is Tungsten pearl.
Left off the strap buttons as I generally play sitting down so don't need them.
No logo on the headstock yet as I usually wait a while before deciding on a name, got to let it speak to me you know?
