Hello guys! The last week I have been contacted by an important Argentinean luthier called Pablo Lojo. He has been working making guitar for many years to important musicians here. As he likes Cirse and my work at GMC, he decided to offer me building one of his models called "LOJO ROSA" with all details about electronics, pick ups and colors specially customized by me.
He has made a guitar as a present for James Hetfield, and gave it when Metallica played at the Antartida: I went to his workshop and tried many of his models, and I decided that I like this one: Its sounds killer, it's a very versatile guitar that can get big powerful sounds like my Les Paul but also can emulate those classic Fender sounds, and it seems that everything between. I feel that it will be a very useful guitar for GMC guitar lessons but also for playing with Cirse. I decided that I wanted it looking like this guitar that he made based on PRS single cut (without pickguard, this color and with gold bridge) Today we have been discussing about the top, and this is the maple that he will use. It's very original, isn't it? If you are curious you his website to see his works: http://www.pablolojoluthier.com/ These are some more pics that I took when I visited him: I still have to decide the pick ups, I was planing for something similar to the Seymour that I have in my Gibson (jb and Jazz). What do you think? Do you have any ideas or suggestions? -------------------- My lessons

Thanks guys for all this info, I'm not very into this stuff but the guitar that I tried from him included a function that allowed you to make the pick ups "single" and it definitely sounded like a Strato! I said him: I want mine like this one! It's awesome how much versatile the guitar becomes.
Thanks Kris for those details, I will definitely check the three features that you listed there. Also, I didn't know that having high output pick ups was an advantage when you decide to split them. Pablo, the luthier is monitoring this thread so we will be discussing this things to get the best of this guitar. He also send me a picture from the rosewood he will be using for the neck. Isn't it beautiful? -------------------- My lessons
