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.

Badass! Looks killer, looking forward to seeing the finished product

I’d be all over that site if I was remotely handy :lol:

Looks great! Appetite burst. Those things are like 3200 bucks ! What pickups you putting in?

Love it. I've seen some PRS bodies there as well. Keep updates with more pictures.

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

Hey can you throw a meter on those. I’d love to know the readings.

Mike Oxhuge · Post by **Mike Oxhuge** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 4:01 pm

Bb2 : 8.2k
80's rythym 7.5k

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

Edit Looking closer it appears to be a copy.

And here I making myself custom "homage" guitars. That Les Paul looks amazing! I really hope it's up to what you're wanting it to be when completed

It’s a legit Gibson Slash copy.

This top is amazing!!! Congrats man!!
Buying guitars like this makes a lot of sense. I always change the pickups and hardware anyway :hmm:

Mike Oxhuge · Post by **Mike Oxhuge** » Sat Oct 07, 2023 8:18 pm

And because I had most of the parts and a case laying around I will only have $1800 into it.

Idk why the truss rod cover was throwing me off but probs just the camera angle. What shop is this??

Stratosphere on eBay.

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.
