Members badpenguin Posted July 10, 2015 Members Share Posted July 10, 2015 Hey al, while perusing the local pawn shops, found this bad boy, and I couldn't say no to it. She's a late 70's early 80's Lotus L505WA or some such number. Solid mahogany body, (all 6 pieces of it) Crappy tuners, which I replaced yesterday, a wonderful bolt on mahogany neck with a rosewood board, and some decent pickups. Of course, me being me, couldn't leave it alone, so I tossed in a Epiphone neck pickup from a late 90's custom I had lying around the house. I did add an orange drop cap, but removed it, when I thought the original, which cost about 3 cents, sounded better then the 3 dollar one. Go figure. I am such a sucker for Paul like creatures. Reminds me of the "The Paul" and plays just as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wankdeplank Posted July 11, 2015 Members Share Posted July 11, 2015 Looks like it could be a Matsumoku. Love the wood grain finish, the shape, and the tummy cut. If it sounds and plays good, I'd be all over that one myself. Big Congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
