I’ve had my eye on this bad boy for quite some time, and I finally jumped on it. It arrives today, but I thought I’d give you a preview (well, more like some teaser pictures). It is a custom build made in 2007 for Keith Nelson of Buckcherry. This is, in my opinion, the most Gibson Les Paul of a PRS Singlecut that I’ve ever seen. I often get the itch for a Les Paul, but without any malice I must say that I often find them uninspiring. I even had a really high end Ace Frehley Custom Shop and I was just like, meh.
While it’s not a Private Stock, but a custom build for a player at the height of his band’s popularity, I can only assume that it got all the love a Private Stock would get...perhaps even more. I told my wife that I bet Paul even knocked on wood blanks to match the body to the neck. She responded that she thinks I have mental problems.
The Grover tuners and the body bindings are Les Paul all day long. The scalloped horn is the PRS giveaway and the way the they blended the molding into the scallop is pure genius. Whoever did that is a true craftsman, and my hat off to you sir or madam.
