The CoCo Paul, Not Your Typical LP Style Guitar ..

The coCo Paul is a LP style guitar made by Convolution Instruments. This guitar is a requested custom job. The idea was to make an extraordinary LP style guitar with no plastics and with some extra sound features. The  body is made of mahogany with a spalted maple top and ebony bindings. Neck is made of mirrored mahogany, with, in the middle of the heel a piece of wenge. Top of the headstock is rosewood. Fingerboard is ebony. The inlay is abalone. Pickguard is also made of ebony as well as the plates on the back. The truss rod is adjustable on the body side. Harder to adjust, but stronger for the stability and strength of the headstock. The scale length is 24.75″ which is typical for a LP style guitar. The bridge pickup is a Seymour Duncan Trembucker, and a DiMarzio PAF in the neck position. Both pickups can be switched from series to parallel mode by 2 pushpull potmeters.

Pure Passion - Pure Tone, Don Grosh Guitars 59 Spec ...

Inspired by the classic 1959 LP-style guitar, the 59 spec takes their set neck custom model and decks it out with features reminiscent of that famous instrument. Classic aged trapezoid inlays, aged single-ply cream neck and body binding, custom period correct electronics and gold top hat knobs, but with impeccable Grosh quality, tone, feel and playability. Relive those classic tones and features but in a package that is far more balanced, comfortable and effortless to play. The 59 Spec also comes standard with a CITES certified, passport-protected Brazilian rosewood fingerboard (available as an option on other models). Featuring master-grade, tone-tapped woods, old-growth Honduran mahogany, AAAAA maple, ultra-thin nitro-lacquer finish and handcrafted Grosh pickups.
