[guitar hiro]

the 'unknown wood shop ninja' lefty is at it again; some awesome hand made 'one off' wonderland stuff here ......

and PLEASE .... no one here tell me that top looks like any type of Mahogany

Handmade Les Paul Korina 1PU Aged Replica 3.6... - Yahoo!オークション

That looks really cool.

yes, Lefty comes up with some pretty cool spec fiddles; like my all Honduran hog Explorer Junior for example


here is one Lefty sold not long ago that is very similar to the example in the OP
This one has a 2 piece maple top and a 2 piece Honduran body back





another example that Lefty recently sold
1 piece Korina top, 1 piece Khaya back and 1 piece Korina neck


good opportunity to see Korina and hog side X side .......

Oh I like the back on that second one. Wowza.

one single piece African hog body and a hefty 4.6 kg weight

lefty is still at it throwing out yet another crazy creation from his warped laboratory of Gibsonesque inspired designs; this one being a single 1 piece hog body Explorer with mini-buckers ........
