Ever seen another ?

Basically a Gibson "the Paul" shape, but built by Bill Lawrence and Company back
before the nasty split. Crazy Rare. With a very cool Bridge.
Original Vintage Bill Lawrence pickups. Teardrop case. Totally time machine clean,
with only a few slight marks on the back if you can even see them.

Sound excellent and plays amazingly - nice action, great tone.

Looks like a straight forward rock and roll machine. Bridge looks weird, but it seems like a nice enough piece.

I like it.

 

[CBHScott]

Meh.

 

[Elias Graves]

Almost the same pickups he designed for the Marauder. Except they aren't bathed in epoxy.

Looks like a homemade guitar someone would sell on Craigslist.

Not doing it for me, and I used to own a The Paul. I think it's the bridge.

 

[bubkusjones]

I like it.

The headstock looks like a product logo that I can't quite recall at the moment...

It's not this:


I was thinking Levi's or something like that..

Interesting bridge.....

Bridge is worse than a PRS.

That’s part of it. But the plain headstock and pronounced wood grain aren’t doing much for this guitar.
