Re: Buckethead Signature Les Paul. I'm Serious.

Let me play out this fantasy for a second...
My LesPaul would have a belly route, or at least carved on both sides, not just the front... like a violin. Volute on the back of the neck, and slim (early 70's) neck contour... to replicate my '73 custom. No chambers, just heavy. the neck joint will be hand contoured (instead of blocky and squared off). binding front and back.
Ebony fretboard, Mother of Pearl Block inlays, and Les Paul custom headstock.
Burstbucker II in bridge and neck, pickup covers will have Gibson embossed in to the covers (to replicate my black '73 custom). http://www.guitaravenue.com/images/phot … ack-72.jpg
Schaller StrapLocks. Grover tuners. Graphtec nuts and saddles. TonePros locking bridge and tailpiece. Creme pickguard, rings, and other hardware again to match my '73 Custom.
The only revealing stat on the guitar that it's my sig model and not a custom shop would be the NPB serial #. Color options would be that of a standard... white, gold, cherry sunb., vintage sunb, or black.
Egads this sounds expensive! I'd like to sell it for around $2000, but all the stats of the above are sounding more like $4000.
One heck of a guitar though!
