This Les Paul-shaped build combines familiar vintage proportions with a hollow fabricated-steel body and workshop-made metal details.

Steel provides a crisp surface for the Surf Green finish, but the construction is not purely cosmetic: the hollow shell changes the way the instrument rings and sustains compared with a conventional solid timber body.

A Bigsby vibrato adds the final period cue, balancing the raw metal construction with the hardware language of a well-used custom guitar.
