I'm floored by the beauty of your guitars, the figuring on your Les Paul is something I've never seen before....absolutely amazing!

It's beautiful, man. What kind of pickups are you rocking? The difference between the standards and the CS is just unreal. I'm glad that Gibson still offer an awesome guitar if you have the money. I guess I could sell my Two-Rock to get and R8 but then I would have a beautiful guitar and no amp to go with it. There are steps to these things. Haha.

This guitar almost doesn't look real. Is that a semi-matte finish or something? The lack of shine makes the woodgrain look even better than it would were it to have a standard nitro finish. Did you nitro it and then sand some of it off? Is it maple? What kind of pickups? Man, awesome guitar.

Sheptone Blue Sky in the neck and BK in the bridge. Having thoughts about replacing the BK with a Motorcity 2nd degree black belt.

First two guitars Ron Thorn built for me have pretty insane tops. Here they are -- #9 and #12. Not the greatest photos in terms of today's cameras' capabilities...but they're about 20 years old!
