This is a very cool conversion we just had done, we took a 2012 Les Paul Special, sent it it expert Luthier and guitar building legend Brian Monty in Canada and had him reneck and add a beautiful flame maple top. When this was done we had it sent to Josh Grove at Protocaster guitars for this amazing “Dirty Lemon Burst” finish. This one is very weather checked already and will just continue to check. The checking is not done with a razor blade. Since it is 100% real nitrocellulose laquer, it checks just by getting it nice and cold. This also lets the wood breathe which definitely contributes to the sound!!!!
It has an amazing sounding set of Throwback pickups and is a nice and light 8.66 LBS!! it is very resonant acoustically. Comes with a lacquered and aged Protocaster tweed case.
