Beautiful!

This mashes up a few of my own interests - I have a 56LPC I love and my main band guitar this last year was a triple hum standard with a Bigsby. How is yours wired up?

The stinger and the flower pot really set this beauty apart. The staple in the neck with triple P 90s was a great choice. I love it.

i got a “54 gt heavy murf aged w/ a staple in the neck from the garage, last summer. best new les paul i’ve owned/operated.

i vastly prefer the single coil les paul response and timbral range to hums.

Cool and unique mods.

When you were developing the specifications was there a fretboard choice for black ebony? It's hard to tell the fretboard shade from your pics but I've seen Customs with ebony that was more of a dark brown vs. black. Just wondering if M2M can gaurantee a black fretboard.

The stinger is awesome.
I don't mean to piss on your shoes, but...
I never saw a guitar with wear like that.
Maybe a janitor owned one like it and he kept his keys hanging over the front.
Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln...how was the play? ;)
Aside from the "wear" that might be the most badass looking guitar I've ever seen.

I bet it makes sense in person. The sunlight might be making it look a little funky.
