To cheer myself up, I went to the Platinum site and starting browsing. When the photos for this one came up, that was it. Love at first sight.

I was a little concerned about the "specially wound" bridge humbucker, but it turned out to be great sounding, not hot/muddy. I'm not a huge fan of the Burstbuckers, but with the special wiring on this one, they work out nicely. With four other guitars all with Classic '57s, this one definitely has a different voice.

Here's a couple more outtakes. I like the full sun shot because it shows the oxblood color at the very edge and the flame that goes all the way to the top.

Obligatory headstock pic:

oat my goat! that is the most beautiful guitar ive ever seen!!!!

As promised,craptacular pics of my spectacular VOS 57 Reissue LPC.
I've already started modding it. Put on Speeds.
Cream rings,pokerchip and jackplate to come.
I'll update pics (better quality) when they're on.

I like it this way--speed knobs are okay--but the black looks so much better than the cream.

Lowdown · 06-17-2011, 02:36 AM

Thanx guys.

Yeah funny you say that zontar,as I've just been comparing what it looks like now and what it will look like with the cream,thanks to Frank Montag's guitar editor(which I have to say is a freakn brilliant tool)and the way it is now looks the best to me.

Here's a comparison. Now -

zeppfan1 · 06-17-2011, 04:27 PM

that strap is awesome! Judas Priest comes to mind.

Lowdown · 06-18-2011, 04:32 AM

Thanx mate.
Yeah,it's really comfortable. Very well made.
Judas Priest?

I have another 1" one that's on my Trad+ and that one is just unreal.
I had them both made and could've bought 2 decent pedals for what they cost.

But you get what you pay for.

I think that you, sir, have one of the nicest Customs out there.

LesPaulFan71 · 06-18-2011, 03:41 PM

This is my custom that is based off of Ace Frehley's guitar from the late 70's the Rocket one.

I love the black customs...they kinda sing in their own way.
