skydog52 Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 With all this talk that Customs will be, won't be available. Let's see some of yours. I'll start.
Millennium Maestro Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 Paul, I really like the features on your 170, really like the controls... Functionality is huge with me. Since we are with 170s, here is mine. Here is one of my New keepers an Ultra One piece top, Lollar Imperials, Coiltaps, Locking tuners... She plays like a dream after her fret level!

LittleLeroy Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 I know Paul and Guy have some very cool custom stuff done for them. I wonder if Jay has something he'll post...? this is from Paul's shop (she's currently residing in Santa Fe):

rockabilly69 Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 Hey Yoop, I remember when I was looking for a Gibson L5s, I considered having a guitar like your's built because they have a similar vibe! I was wondering if the Heritage guys would do the cupid bow like on my Firebirst? And I gotta wonder if any of the Heritage guys had a hand in building my L5s, as they were still working for Gibson when both of mine were made!!!

Daniel, If I recall correctly, the inimitable Ren Wall designed those fine tuner tailpieces.

He custom ordered some with those things. They do work well, but look odd to me too. Here is a full graduation photo of Mr. Roman's Class of 59 H150's...Some have regular Grovers, and others have Imperials.
skydog52 Posted March 1, 2018 Author Posted March 1, 2018 H-535 Custom Seth Lovers Academy Custom. Thro-Bak MXV. Marv wouldn't put a cavity plate on it so I told him to put the f-holes in the back for access.

Marv is one of a kind...just like your gorgeous Academy Custom.
Steiner Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 Spectrum13 trumped me with amenities, regardless, this is my cold, dead hand, pre-225 darling.
