Here is a one-of-a-kind guitar made by genius luthier Loic Le Pape (France) that features a stainless-steel body, maple & ebony neck, heavy relic '52 LP Gold Top.
The back is painted with Loics technique to simulate patterns of oxidation (very beautiful from close, with gold sparkles)
It is the best instrument i've ever owned, very special & unique sound & feel
It plays beautifully, very fast neck & the perfect neck angle when sitting down Very warm neck P-90, and a great HB (the middle position, P-90 & split coil, is an amazing, very clear single coil sound!)
It could use some fret polishing, it doesn t bother me at all, but i thought i would mention it, very simple to do, i just don t think it needs it for my playing
I can provide more pictures and sound samples
Includes original hardshell case
