I decided to sell my incredible, one of a kind, custom guitar, because I just don't use it enough to justify keeping it.  It was made by master luthier Pavel Maslowiec, during the time he was working at Doc Pittillo's guitar shop. Pavel makes guitars for Daniel Lanois, David Gilmour, Lyle Workman, Peter Stroud, Walter Trout, Eric Sardinas and RoccoDeluca. There are about 10 of these in existence, and only one in this color. The pickups were custom wound by Seymour Duncan himself. The original owner who sold it to me paid somewhere around $12,000 for it, so here's your chance to own this master instrument for much less.
The sound can go from Les Paul to Telecaster and anywhere in-between, thanks to the phase switches. It has an overall warm quality to it with rounder bass than usual. Here's a with Doc Pittillo talking about these guitars.
The guitar is in great condition, looks, plays and sounds fantastic. Comes with a Gibson hard case. Local pickup in Los Angeles is preferred. Because of the value of this instrument I really don't want to ship it, but if there's no other way, then of course I will. But please contact me beforehand to figure out the carrier and insurance.
