I like it.
You get a free bowl of soup with that guitar?
Not sure what this model is. Normally Im not into relicing or aging but for some reason I dig this one.
Welcome to the forum! Are you connected to Scala?It's a Scala Underdog custom White Spell, one of two Underdogs made for Richard Fortus of G'N'R.
This is what he had to say on FB.
"I can't tell you how madly in love with my 2 Scala's I am. They are 2 of the finest instruments I have ever owned. They are absolutely phenomenal instruments in every way. I look forward to playing them at every show. The finest Les Paul's i've ever played or heard. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Honestly man, I have a pretty stellar collection of vintage instruments. I don't own a real burst (yet), but i've played quite a few. I have not played one that has felt or sounded better than yours. I talk about those guitars all the time. They are alive. notes seem to just explode off of them. So incredibly expressive, i've not been this excited about an instrument in quite some time. You should be very proud. You are a true artist."

Obviously this one is little too much for most but then it's a stage instrument that sort of makes a statement (whatever that may be).
His second axe is more of akin to vintage '59.

Thanks Mark!
I've known the man since mid-eighties so yeah, you could say that. I've played quite a few of his guitars throughout his evolution as a luthier.
