My Neil Young Guitar
So much upgrades it's not a Gibson anymore. Seymour Duncan Seth Lover pick ups, Bigsby and lock-in tuners to name a few.

Great sounding guitar
Love this singlecoil beast of a guitar. It's clear sounding with lots of power.

Power Guitar
This is a real power house, really love this guitar. Mine was blue, but is horribly painted white. And I say horribly, but it's really nice because it's ugly. Now it embodies the raw power with a raw, ugly beautiful look.

Best Les Paul
I really, really love Gibson Les Pauls, but they've got many flaws, and I know this. This guitar gives you everything. Ebony fingerboard, great Seymour Duncan Antiquity's and no tuning issues. It's a great recreation of the '59 Les Paul, without the problems.

Great sounding guitar
I always wanted a Gretsch guitar, but never vibed with them. My style, amps and pedals don't match with Gretsch. This guitar is my savior. A Telecaster guitar with TV Jones pick-ups, I really love it. Easy to play and a beauty to boot,

Neil Young type Les Paul
My dream guitar, with Bigsby and Seymour Duncan Seth Lovers. Love this guitar.

Big, clunky and warm tones
It's big, it's clunky, but it's also the best boost pedal I have ever heard. It has got everything you want to hear from a boost pedal and more, because the warm tones from it's single valve are absolutely amazing. The best booster pedal there is!

P90's Power
I'm always searching for that classic Neil Young Weld sound. With this Gibson Les Paul Special Vintage '55 from 1970 I get the raw power of his sound. I know he uses a Firebird Pick Up on his Les Paul, but with these P90's I'm really getting there. I also use this guitar for his early works like Down by the River, Cortez the Killer and Danger Bird. I almost always play Neil Young & Crazy Horse, so my Les Paul Special is my go to guitar.

damn, your review got to the firebird pickup just as I was formulating my "nyah nyah wrong bridge pickup" response
this looks exactly like my uncle's early 70s special. Except yours probably doesn't have a headstock repair from putting 14 guage strings on it like a dope who thinks good tone comes from playing half-assed jazz fusion licks on tree trunks.

Haha, just in time! I've just asked the builder of my Telecaster if he can build me a guitar with a Firebird and P90 pick up ;).
Nope, no headstock repair thank the gods. My Special only has it's Pickguard removed. I like it more this way =)

Red Devil
The nickname Red Devil really sums up the power of this guitar. Normally I'm not a big humbucker fan, but these Seymour Duncan's Seth Lovers are awesome! With a great body and lots of tone and power, this is my main guitar next to my Gibson Les Paul Special.

Hand made wonder
The best thing about hand made guitars is the freedom. I love P90 pick-ups, but I never really loved the build of a Telecaster. The weight of the guitars is an issue, so this custom dutch made Telecaster with P90's is a great solution. Only one made for his own usage, the builder sold it to me and I loved it ever since. One of the greatest guitars I have ever owned.
