Topic: Custom Shop Lazarus

I'm planning a Gibson M2M Custom Shop order for my retirement Les Paul. I'm guessing the specs I found on Google are 100%?
I know Joe would not ever help me as he never answers anything i send him. How does a commoner like me get a good image of it and help with specs?

Any and all help appreciated.
Dave

Re: Custom Shop Lazarus

There’s lots of videos of Joe and Lazarus
Quick google

Each neck was hand sanded so it’s hard to spec anything 100% unless you had it measured.

Re: Custom Shop Lazarus

I'm not worried about exactly matching the neck profile. A chunky 59 neck is fine. I guess my main goal is the finish on the top and the electronics.  I did find a 59R dealer select Murphy Lab ultra  light that looked pretty darn close. I'm not concerned about matching the flame pattern exactly either. I've watched tons of video with Joe using it and also the Gibson video when he tells the story.
Thanks for the response.  I'm guessing Burdtbuckers, CTS pots with Mallory caps?? That's what I got from google
