HNGBD!

Post by Mike Oxhuge »

Happy new guitar body day! Just got my Stratosphere Gibson Les Paul Slash AFD body. Best flame top I've ever seen in person. I had almost all the parts except tuners and a few screws to put it together.

Very nice!

I’ve sourced a couple of my Wolfgangs from them, good deal if you have a bunch a parts, or like myself, where I’ll buy the body just to have sumthin from them and build the neck to complete the build.

But yeah, I dig it and it is a great top

Yes, this is my second LP build from them. I only sold the other to help fund my house. Great value, especially for modders like us that spec out our own builds.

I have a Gibson BB2 for the bridge and the Gibson 80's rhythm for the neck.

Is that a legit Gibson body? Looks bad ass whatever it is!

Edit Looking closer it appears to be a copy.

It’s a legit Gibson Slash copy.

That will rock! And it’s a real Gibson! I’ve bought many a body from them over the years. Always received what I was expecting. I guess he makes more breaking them up. Good luck with the build Dude.
