Title: Richard's 24-fret Les Paul... Post by: Mobenrad on August 14, 2006, 06:46:13 PM That is NOT a Gibson. Anyone have ANY idea who made the guitar? The body looks Epiphone to me, it's flat.
Gibson has no 24-fret models and they don't make 24-fret necks, I doubt even for private deals. The headstock isn't Gibson either. Title: Re: Richard's 24-fret Les Paul... Post by: vietnow138 on August 14, 2006, 07:25:47 PM do u have a picture we could see?
Title: Re: Richard's 24-fret Les Paul... Post by: AXL 20 on August 15, 2006, 11:49:20 AM first off epiphones are mostly carved top
second off gibson makes specials which are flat so get your facts straight its probqbly either made by a conjuction of warmoth and gibson or just warmoth. www.warmoth.com i have no proof its just my theory why doesnt someone email and ask him?

Because we get replies 6 months later. I figured it would be by Warmoth but the headstock by Warmoth still looks like Gibson, and Richard's looks nothing like Gibson.

Title: Re: Richard's 24-fret Les Paul... Post by: Neemo on August 16, 2006, 08:33:11 AM Found IT!!!!! ;D
Its a James Trussart Custom Guitar - SATIN HOLEY BACK STEELDEVILLE!! and it's a steel body with a Rust finish option ;) http://www.jamestrussart.com/Newsite/Steeldeville/Steeldeville_HB_SATIN.htm (http://www.jamestrussart.com/Newsite/Steeldeville/SatinHB-SD-Lien1.jpg) here is the Artist page and if you scroll down to the R's you see Richard Fortus ;) (looks like Robin plays one too ;) as well as gilby) http://www.jamestrussart.com/Newsite/Artists2.htm The way i found it...i was going through an old Guitar Mag cuz I'm learning a tune in it and there was a pick of Rich Robinson of the Black Crowes on the cover and his guitar had the same headstock so i went to his webpage and looked through his list of guitars for ones that didn't look familiar to me ;) Description Another classic design, favored by many, is the Steeldeville. Reconceived with a two octave 24 fret neck and a steel body, this guitar rocks? Like the SteelCaster, the neck, made of maple, has a unique recessed peg-head plate that creates incredible sustain and its hollow body has that special bite for pushing the sound to limits. Now part of the arsenal of the Black Crowes, Iggy Pop,Guns 'n Roses and Metallica, among others. Specifications ? Bolt-On Maple Neck (tobacco red stained) ? Rosewood Fingerboard ? 24-3/4" Scale ? 1-5/8" wide Nut ? 10 " Radius ? Frets #6130 ? Tune-O-Matic/Stop Tailpiece (Tone Pros?) ? Seymour Duncan? Alnico II Pro? Pickups ? Hard Case (Black or Brown) Price: $4218 (uhh ouch :o) Neck Options ? Koa Neck (add $145) ? Ebony Fingerboard ? Aluminum Binding & Dots (add #365) Pickups Options ? P-90? (neck & bridge positions) Finishes ? Rusty ? Shiny ? Gold ? Copper Title: Re: Richard's 24-fret Les Paul... Post by: AXL 20 on August 16, 2006, 02:55:11 PM fuck i just sent him an email about it :P
