take an AL2k, 3k, or 3.1k and add a string, some additional finishes, done. additional features (emgs, 25+ scales, floyds, hipshots, neck thrus, etc.) should come AFTER

Lets start thinking about finishes, I'm going to wait until I get back from the beach (Friday), and then put up a 2nd poll with Finish options, and the other stuff I left off.

I would personally love a Goldtop

^ + 1

perhaps keep it simple and traditional for the first run with only a few color options?

tobacco burst
goldtop
silverburst

Yeah, 2 - 3 colors for the first run, but ideas would be good to know what to include in the next poll. :yesway:


Also.... sunburst anyone?

+1 Gold Top
+1 Bursts (Especially the HSB)
+1 Silverburst

How about this with an extra string and 3000 series appointments?

Hmm, actually looks like Solid colors may be the majority with the exception of one sunburst. I think if we go with mostly or all solid colors, maybe go for a plain maple cap instead of figured. Save the curly stuff for transparent finishes, and save us some $$ in the process. :yesway:

Yeah they chose just about the worst example for those pics. A lot of the actual photos, from owners of those guitars, I've seen, they typically are a lot better executed. I attribute that fairly bad one to A) it was from the first batch quite some time ago, and B) it's a lower level (2000) AL.

Or they could just suck at Silverburst. :lol:

Cherry sunburst please. That's the "classic" LP finish. That and the "Black Beauty" color scheme would be nice.

If you could just do a standard set-neck AL 7 with that, it'd be cool. Although I'm unlikely to buy one anytime soon thanks to school.

Looks like classic specs are the winners. Should we start a poll about finishes? :D

Hmm.. I made a thread of the same exact nature quite a while back with I guess no success :lol: I hope the idea has sparked enough interest this time for the plans to actually go through :bowdown:

Also, I'm completely for covered pups if they're cepheus', it'd be well worth the wait.

Ash body, Maple top, Mahogany neck, ebony fretboard, any scale up to 27" and Silverburst finish, I already came really bad...

My 2 cents:

1. I'm definitely interested. I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner.

2. I think original LPC specs (or as close to them as possible) is the way to go

3. This heel (from the AL-2000) is far superior to the others:

4. My votes for finish are white, black, silverburst, and maybe dragonburst would be rad, too!

Beyond that, honestly I don't care. I'd just like to see this happen. :yesway:
