Goldie

Satin honeyburst LP Tribute — Pig parts, Slash pickups.

A satin honeyburst Les Paul Tribute. Neck and body are Gibson Les Paul Tribute. Seymour Duncan Slash pickups. 1959-style wiring harness from a pro who specializes in those. Almost everything else came from The Pig, which was sacrificed to put this together. Like a lot of Les Paul–style guitars I find myself constantly tuning the G string — but it sounds incredible and feels great to play.

Goldie: a satin honeyburst Les Paul hanging on a wall, knobs not installed, Seymour Duncan pickups and chrome hardware visible.

Build details

Early guitar work — really assembly; the woodworking hadn’t started yet. Gibson Tribute neck and body; most of the rest came from The Pig.
