Bucket Paul

Les Paul fans should know that Buckethead has a signature Les Paul, a white guitar with 2 distinctive red buttons for some sci-fi muting action & other quirky sonic mayhem. The pic above is his original LP Custom before the signature model took effect. I'm no too keen with LPs but I'm attracted to that Storm Trooper knob.

Ah, the final day of February is here.

Just by looking at his name/guitar reminded me of the song "Jordan" :p
Though I've always thought that he wouldnt let Gibson make his sig. model. I think you know what I mean.

got that :-) that's the basically the typical shredder's instinct: Gibson = No

There was a cheaper variant at NAMM, without the Ebony fretboard and binding. A Studio version of sorts.

read about that but the details of it is scant. buckethead fans are still sore that the current signature model didn't replicate this particular manifestation.

Note that Angus Young SG guitar have 2 version namely - Angus Young Signature & Angus Young Custom Version. Latter pricing was the twice of the former.
Probably, they could always come up up Buckethead Custom to make more $$.

the fact that they came up with the Buckethead Studio version implies the need to move quantities... instead of making a more luxurious version :-)
