Adrian 155 Report post Posted March 20, 2013 I make stuff like this on the side. "The Guitable" 1978 Les Paul studio axe. Tolex wrapped to resemble amplifier, with chrome amplifier conerpieces. Custom cut glass that holds up to 40# inside the "chamber" is the sheet music to "crossroads" where a "deal with the devil, was made for fame and fortune". I also have a Stratocaster version of the Guitable to complete a set. .....and "Black" really seems to brighten up the place. Kidding, it pretty much goes with anything though. Just sharing..... thought?????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Adrian 155 Report post Posted March 21, 2013 It's fun "headscratchin" stuff to do. Not really re-cycling but more like up-cycling. New hardware always with a vintage piece of musical material. Why throw it away? Me and those axes have alot of memories and stories to tell of our journeys together. Might as well keep around huh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 RPetry 564 Report post Posted March 21, 2013 Adrian, Nice work, you are a multi-talented guy! Ran across a "This Day in History" article this morning. Purported to be the "1st" major rock & roll concert ..., way prior to your Les Paul guitar and even before I was born!

I make stuff like this on the side.
"The Guitable"
1978 Les Paul studio axe.
Tolex wrapped to resemble amplifier, with chrome amplifier conerpieces.
Custom cut glass that holds up to 40#
inside the "chamber" is the sheet music to "crossroads"
where a "deal with the devil, was made for fame and fortune".
I also have a Stratocaster version of the Guitable to complete a set.
.....and "Black" really seems to brighten up the place.
Kidding, it pretty much goes with anything though.
