Gretsch-Paul Immanent Completion

Hey Bear-that finish will make your Lp similar to my LP shaped refinned Synchro Jet Pro

Twom,
That's pretty!!
So, I scraped some binding today. Kudos to you guys that bind these things. That was awful. Touch up galore...

Thanks mega and Bear! And Bear when I took my jet pro in to be refinnished I kinda had the lighter blue you have in mind but mine turned out kind of a teal but considering it was originally cherryburst I'm pretty happy with it.

The final assembly begins on my GreTscH Paul. What a PITA it was to get the TVJ Gibson style pickup rings to fit properly. Thank God for Dremels and L-Dopa.
What kind of body is that?

Thanks Mac and Buddy.
I still need a model name for it.
What do you guys think of LP120 or L120? Or, I was thinking of like a Harley thing "heritage classic". Or a combo of the two...

So, I came up with this:
It's Strat Poles on a flatwork I cut and mounted to a PAF base. Thinking of a P-90 winding. Could be cool. No cover though, might cosmetically suck.
Could just be a P94...
I'll have to try though, right! Add that extra "I made that" factor.

Wow, I wouldn't even think of searching for this, but I like the idea of "gretschified" non-gretsch guitars, so I'll be tuning in

How cool that you carved your own top megabutter. I had no idea. When I first read this thread I thought you had somehow converted an actual Tenny.

Wow, amazing stuff, guys! Color me jealous (ideally the same color as your guitar, Bear, that thing is bee-yuuu-teee-ful!!)! So, when do you guys open up your own guitar companies?
Can't wait to see the finished products!

So much for immenant, huh?
I still need to do the clear top coats.
However, I'm having a headstock plate made. I need suggestions. I want it to be the opposite of a Gents.
So like, "artist name New York Urban (insert urban word for gentlemen)"?
Any suggestions would be appreciated as I'm no wordsmith...
