Yes, an UG guitar.
Unorthodox Guitar “LP” Guitar.
From my collection of handmade one-off guitars.
Handmade by Dave Bauer of Fort Worth, Indiana
Dba “Unorthodox Guitars”
Dave is a “master of wood”. He creates pieces of art that are also guitars.  This Les Paul design is an excellent example of his craftsmanship.  Look at the photos to see how he has combined these woods on this guitar:  Maple, mahogany, purple heartwood, etc. in different grains, e.g., flame, quilt, bird’s eye, burled, etc.  The art of this guitar comes not only from the woods used in terms of their color and grain but also in the pattern of the arrangement of the different woods by sections in an angled pattern with the woods sometimes complementing the one next to it while other times contrasting to it.  Note:  Because of the hand cutting and fitting of these sections of wood, you will see slight imperfections in the joinery including slight gaps etc.-take those as they are-the result of handmade craftsmanship.
The body is 2” thick and has six layers glued and laminated together.   The weight of this guitar is 9.77 pounds.
Has hand rubbed satin oil finish.
Other features are:
24 3/4 scale
24 frets
Maple neck
Medium jumbo frets

Bigsby tailpiece and bridge
Two tone and two volume pots.
Pearl dot inlays
Maple fretboard
Maple truss rod cover

Schaller bridge
Schaller style tuners
Pickups are standard unbranded that produce excellent tone and loud volume.  Combined with the laminated body they give this guitar a warm and full resonance with great sustain.  Reminiscent of standard Les Paul guitars but it sounds much deeper to me.
Comes in a gig bag.
CONDITION OF THE GUITAR:
Excellent.  Only played a few times.

If it arrives damaged, please let me know immediately by email.  Be sure to hold onto all packing material and the box. I will contact the shipper for an inspection. Remember that this can take up to a couple of weeks but I will rush it along. Minor problems.  If there is a problem with the guitar when it arrives, e.g., loose wires etc. then I will work with you to get it repaired by someone in your area.  Thank you for looking at this incredible handmade guitar from my collection.

About Us ABOUT TUNEYOURSOUND. Tune Your Sound Sound Your Tune Guitars make Sounds ! Guitar players make Tunes. But which guitar makes your Tune best?The beginning point in making a tune is You. The music in your head goes to your hands which form chords and notes. The end point is the Tune heard by those listening created by the Sounds of the instruments in between. Our job at TuneYourSound.com (TYS) is to fill in the middle. Or, in other words, "complete the chain". We are guitar players and collectors at TuneYourSound.com. Collectively we have personally owned and played over 1800 guitars. And we have seen guitar players play-from Jimi using his teeth to Jimmy using his bow. And now, we want to tell you what we have learned over the years and under the stages. First: There should be two primary guitars in your life. The one you start with (by choice or coincidence) and the one you finish with (once you find it, you'll know it and keep it). But of course, humans are acquisitive by nature, so we are prone to own more than we need-but a guitar player must have what he really needs. Two: Sometimes it's better for a guitar to be heard than seen and other times it's better for a guitar to be seen than heard. So, play it both ways. Buy a guitar that does both. Three: Avoid the hype. Especially now with the Internet overloading us with data. Buy a guitar that you trust from someone you trust. Four: Make it personal. Establish a relationship with your seller. That way you will never be disappointed-nor abandoned. After all, it is still about money-your money. And you deserve to get more than you give. At TuneYourSound.com, we have the answer!
