it’s probably 10 on the dot, as pictured; it’s hefty. Maybe high 9s…maybe. D string was an old trick I heard of; I had a run where I was breaking them and top wrapping solved that, as someone who plays hard.

Not stock any longer over the years (only the wood is untouched…relatively) but this is 1997 Gibson CS Sparkleburst not unlike Steve Stevens’s pre-Knaggs. Ebony board, real pearl inlays, 10+ lbs fully loaded. Uniquely, has a smaller 1.65 nut width, which I’m grateful for. Owned it since 2008.

Wow; I remember that PRS from years ago; it’s so cool!

Wow; that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. Thanks for sharing; looking forward to checking this out!

Pignose or a Peavey Bandit?

Super cool, as the Caparisons you post also are.

Doug is amazing; so cool to hear you got to have a great night taking this in! Interesting to see him back on a Paul and not his Knaggs.

Very cool. In 2008, I bought my 1997 heritage cherry burst sparkletop les Paul with the ebony fretboard and non-chambered body, that must have been from the same run his was from, when he used it back in the mid to late 2000s. I saw him in that GW video with the Bare Knuckle Mules in it and I...

Killer strat! What did you not like about the Destruction 70?

I dig this build! That stinks that the KNE body needed work but this looks great!

I had an early XTS atomic overdrive and I thought it sounded absolutely stellar, fwiw!

That is so cool! I think it’s killer and I love the flame maple fretboard with it. Congratulations!

IIRC, Kiso is one of the few shops that produce ESP CS instruments; Takada and Sado are the others, I believe.

I think Classic Customs had baked maple fretboards, not ebony. That could explain why it looks unusual.

That is awesome! Also love the wicker front Boogie and 3 Monkeys (haven’t seen one in awhile) hanging out in the back!

Have you ever tried his LRPs? I’m curious how different the Signature Set is from the LRPs that I have in my Les Paul.
