These are superb Les Pauls with a flame top and ebony fretboard!
This guitar has had an interesting transformation over the past year.
I purchased the guitar on **** for £1350 in 2005. The Guy who owned the guitar from new put a bigsby trem on it, which i decided to remove to improve tuning stability.
unfortunately the trem had caused some damage on the body and i found four holes underneath the trem that just made me feel that i needed to have some work done to restore it.
I sent it off to Feline guitar workshop where they repaired the holes and gave the guitar a custom refinish in blue - and now it's stunning! I also had an earvana nut and sperzal locking machine heads put on it.the total work cost was £650.00
You can see the work under the flame slightly, but from a distance....it's as if there was never a problem. (infact you can hardley see them close up)
The tone is amazing and is a dream to play.
I am looking for a Swap - and would consider an
Ibanez Jem.
