Lunch of champions....

Maybe this should be my next build????
OP
The body is bigger and it's built on a 27" scale...My idea is to build a 24.75" scale version with an EDS-1275 12 string neck strung with only 6 strings....
That's impossible, I eat it everyday and I am far from a champion.
Does the one on the right have 2 kill switches?
OP
Yes, but I wouldn't use any of that This was just a photo I found on the Internet that shows them side-by-side. My project would only use the bigger "Bucket-Style" body, but everything else would be 24.75" standard Les Paul, except it would use a 12 string shape/profile neck...
If I actually commission it, this would be Von Herndon #27...
OP
Disregard the 27" scale length neck - just look at how much bigger the body is:

uhm..........so dude takes a boat anchor and turns it into a SHIPS anchor..........perhaps his bucket is too tight?
27" scale? ........you will have lots of extra real estate with a 24" scale...........whatcha gonna do with all that prime ground ? Sell Advertising rights?
Maybe install a fake smoke and fire "gimmick" like ol Freaky Frehley? smuggle contraband? or a small band of contras?

Wow, those are nice.....

Ooh!
Let's take a Les Paul and make it even heavier!
What an elevator doesn't go all the way up brain dead idea.
...and I thought dodos were extinct...
Not exactly, it actually weighs less than my Mom's 1979 15 pound Gibson Les Paul Custom.
It's not the weight that bothered me about a Les Paul. It's the overall size being too small for me. My main guitar is 12.2 pounds and I play 2 hour sets standing, so I doubt this would be much heavier than that...
I'm a pretty big dodo....no plans on becoming extinct just yet...
People said the same thing about my Von Herndon set-neck Tele-esque project guitars, but I sold all of them...

LOL!!! No, I wouldn't use the 27" scale, just the bigger body....

Details from www.gibson.com
