That's such a sweet, aw-inducing picture, though. It's cute

Anyways, I really like that guitar!  :o

Yeah, I really love that guitar too. I've tried to find out what it is but I've had no luck.

so it's not the ibanez copy that was once stolen (he bought another one on ebay later haha).
im not sure what that is, but i guess it's some sort of a custom LP, or a custom copy..

It looks like a $trat hardtail that's filed in the butt-end for a stoptail instead of string-thru - like those Tele-mods with a regular telebridge and Bigsby.

Nice and "clean" design. I think the birds look cool because of everything else is so stripped and clean - If those inlays had been on a "flamed-maple-cherryburst-gold-hardware-les-paul" I probably would have vomited straight away, but as said...it works on that axe....
Someone knows where I can find the nearest woodchipper to throw my pieces of junk into?
