The Holy Paisley Les Paul or has this relic job gone too far?

Hi, after breaking the headstock off, I felt the need to endlessly mutilate this inert wooden plank, so that the bad repair in the headstock would look good by comparison. That is Art!

When wood can’t fight back!

Actually with a different paint job, I would rock it. Wouldn’t pay a helluva lot for it, but it has potential.

Sacrilege !

At least it was just a LP Tribute model. Still, of you just want to experiment, an Epiphone would have served the same purpose...

... and the headstock would have been pre-mutilated.

From the ad,
"This was a project guitar using a gibson tribute les paul.
Guitar is as much a piece of art as it is a playable instrament.
Used all lacquer, candy and metallic flake."

It made me think of this cake and the attempted copycat:

John mayall May like it?

I hope that’s a nitro finish. The sound hole is sure an unusual shape.

 

[Chiogtr4x]

Well, it is still a guitar… but would I want it?

I have to agree with Colonel Kurtz.

Kurtz: " Do you question my methods?"

Martin Sheen's character:
" Frankly sir, I don't see a method..."

Apology not accepted. My eyes hurt
I guess the pickups, pots, switch and tuners are salvageable.

Well, it's been AGGRESIVELY weight relieved, to be certain!

One man's treasure is another man's trash.

Maybe if it had black hardware? The gold is too flashy for such a sedate instrument.

The spell has obviously worked, it's giving birth to a ghost in the center.

 

[Telekarster]

I hope it doesn't lay eggs!

I'd take that in a hurry.

Not much of either then?
