I agree, the shape is spot on too - let us know how it sounds already!  Well, when you get it, that is

I envy your twenty-four fret, two whole octaves, neck.  But what I also like about Paul L.'s guitars is their small-scale hollowbody size.  I really can't stand the ES-335 size body.

Agreed, the 335 is too bulky for me too.  When I got my custom I was actually really surprised at how small it was, it felt like a toy almost, but it's very comfortable and extremely light.

And yes, having 24 frets is bliss, when you need it.  There's no other way to go.

There's another one on ebay now.  Search for \"Koa custom guitar.\"  Notice the weird angle from which the strings bend at the nut as they're travelling toward the the tuning pegs.   :roll:

Hey, don't get mad at me :)

I'm just wondering how it stays in tune! :P

And honestly, dude, you are selling these instruments, are you not?  So, of course you'll love them.  
And don't get me wrong--I think in many ways it's a great guitar, to be sure.

Actually Iam not selling these at all. We are going to be selling Jerry replicas from david, these hollowbodies are too time consuming and expensive to make. Ill keep you guys posted,  :P

Uhh.......so you're telling me the Jerry replicas won't be time consuming and expensive to make???  Then what the eff are they going to be, pieces of shit?  C'mon.  If it's worth anything, there's no way in hell it won't be time consuming and expensive; a Jerry replica, if remotely close, is going to be even more time consuming than the hollowbody.  And I'll be honest: the F-hole binding work (not sure what's up w/ it....is that masking tape or what???), and the fact that it's not even an arch-top, let alone a carved-top guitar (at least it doesn't look that way in the pics), makes me question how expensive these hollowbodies really are and why you couldn't semi-mass-produce them for a reasonable price - which, btw, is something I think you SHOULD do, because I think it'd be a hit.  In all due respect, of course my friend, but I've just gotta ask these questions.
