Ozz, love the color you achieved for this axe and the gold hardware really sets it off! Nice build man. Dave, a really lovely ES-3 from you. The headstock inlay is especially impressive.

cheers,
Gav.

Alright so i think its about time i place this thing in here. first ever entry into GoTM.. yew, excited, i think. kinda nervous, ah what the hell.

So here it is, the LP-1, made for my girlfriend for our 2 year anniversary, clearly this is fashionably late.

Flame maple top covered in a beautiful green stain. then with a black 'sunburst'. clear coated with plain ol' acrylic gloss. came up a treat. black tuners and all other hardware. stock pickups, (sounds wonderful by the way). had a custom logo put on it, stating 'Princess' because well, shes my princess, pretty self explanatory. only other major customisation i did was in the wiring. usually in an LP, people put 2 volume, 2 tone, and well i hate the idea of 2 volume... soooo, i converted this thing into a 1 volume, 2 tone and a kill switch. simply so she can just flick the switch and not have to worry about other controls until later on.

So yeah this is it. P.S.... DB, i know how much you love wood grain and your 'let wood grain be wood grain'.. i really didn't want to put any paint over this, nor the pickguard, but it was the missus decision, and what she says goes, i'm sure you understand
