Another Gibson V project finished

Started out as a cherry faded V. The jury is still out on the pickups, they are very nice as far as tone goes, but a little smoother than I've come to like lately. We'll see.

Refinished natural with tung oil
Shot a coat of clear over the peg face
Black pickguard
Duncan custom shop 78 (EVH) bridge pup
Duncan Seth Lover neck pup with push/pull coil slpit
CTS pots
Hovland Musicap
Sperzel tuners
Gotoh lightweight tailpiece
Gold tophat knobs
