Here it is. Finally I got a decent photo of it, and decided to fire up my old scanner.

Is it a Gibson?

 

[Meshuggah]

A friend of mine built it... He went to a well respected "guitarbuilder school".. (my english is really lacking in this area)... He was the "student" of the year and received a nice scholarship. Today he finished his first guitar since he started up his own company, the guitar is for blues guitarist Eric Bibb..

Anyways.. my LP was made during his time in school (the only electric they built), and he got his hands on some ooold mahogny, sawed up and dried since the '50-ies. He also made the pickups..

well... my english don't cover guitar crafting-talk.. so... Get over here for a cup a coffee, and I'll let you play it..

Mind you, he's not saying he won't do it, he just wants to get terms down.
