Alexs LP-1

[highace10]

Hey Everyone,

Well i finally bit the bullet and ordered a LP-1 kit...hopefully it will be on its way shortly.

Seeing as though i havent got the kit in my hands as of yet ive been coming up with a plan on how the LP will look. I have a few little bits coming from StewMac and in a day or two ill be getting some more bits from EBay..

Im really looking forward to the build, kinda getting excited..Had my first guitar lesson in 15 years yesterday afternoon so im keen to get into it.

Cheers

Alex

Hi Alex,
Just let your creative juices flow.. and any questions, there's a lot of good experienced people here to guide you on your journey 8-)

Hi Alex

Take the prep work nice and slow, do a pre-build and then enjoy the process and ultimately the fruits of your labour!

Looking forward to seeing what you produce. What parts have your ordered in?

Hey Alex!

I'm particularly interested in seeing what you do, as I'm in the planning stages of an LP too
Good luck with the build man!

The creative juices are flowing already!...

At this stage i have an order in for a new jack plate (slightly heavier gauge chrome plate), a set of chrome pick up rings (to replace the cream plastic ones supplied) and some Orange Drop caps...thought i would try em out.

Im still trying to hunt around for a black pickguard, black plates for the backside and finally some knobs. I think ill wait for the kit to arrive before i order that gear as i want to measure it up and see whats around. Ive been given a heads up about the 3 way switch being yellow as well so ill need to find a replacement for that.

The sheilding tape is on its way as well...

Ill leave it a surprise, but as you can tell so far it involves some chrome and some black parts..

As you can tell i like chrome :-) Ive just finished building it...time for another project.

This is sounding very simililar to my ideas.... I'm excited to see how this one comes along!

Hey Alex,
sweet looking bike, did you build this ?

If your LP axe looks half this good could be a GOTM contender !

good luck with your build and look forward to seeing it progress in the build diary forum

cheers Wokka

I did build it..took me 4 months to build. Its a 92 GN250 so a fair bit has changed. Runs like a dream.

Thanks...have to twiddle my thumbs until the kits arrives..

sweet so thats a Suzuki ? doesn't look like much stock parts on it and can't believe there's nothing but frame behind the engine, nice mods

hopefully the LP replicates this colour scheme

Yea, a LP-1 with the same colour scheme sitting on the bike (in front of it, on a stand :P) in the same pic for GOTM would be awesome!
