well the last two have gone down well and I have enjoyed doing them.
the local shop told me quite directly I should do nothing else except replicate the Earth 2 ‘52 over and over again.
That’s just not the way I do things. I want to build different things... but I think I want to keep an LP in the go at the same time.
so, I scratched my 52 itch and it’s time for something different.
the 3 top runners are, in no particular order:
*a 54 wrap-tail in oxblood with P-90’s.
*a 55 custom in whatever colour you want, as long as it’s black.. likely with dynasonics again, that worked well
*a 59 burst with a different pickup choice... not cherry, hand rubbed antique style
obviously whatever I do, it won’t be an authentic replica
Lets see what happens

mind you can't go wrong with a wraptail, hey make both
what about a Jeff beck style with pafs, I did one and really liked the look of it
burst is meh unless it's a full on aged replica then it's lovely lol

I am almost sold on it, but the binding puts me off, and defines the style :?

oxblood ? Win.
P90s ? Win.
i have ordered another lightly figured sycamore top and if it looks anything like the last one it’s not getting covered this time. It’s like a roll of the dice to decide what I do.

i did a PRS shaped custom hybrid with multiply binding about 8 years ago. The sharper curves were a challenge but worked okay. Fairly sure I could do better on the simpler shape with the extra years experience
Does a custom work if it’s not double bound?

I did standard binding on a black top dark cherry back, that worked great
Not sure if you do it all the same colour though

Slap a bigsby on the third please, not fussed about the burst, it's nice but different would be better, like a p90 burst or gold foil etc

^ this would get my vote

I'm also a bit bored of bursts so ignore me completely
The one that really caught my attention was the f hole custom, I'd really fancy building one of them now with goldfoils maybe
I'll enjoy watching this though

I threw the F-hole in for a bit of fun, but it does look great... quite a bit more work in it though
