Inspiration 

I always wanted to own a TV Yellow Gibson Les Paul Special and Junior, however, I need a guitar personalized to my needs and more suitable for modern playing requirements. So I sought out the best guitar builder in the world; ME. I build this guitar to be faithful to the original vintage Gibson in all the key features but is improved in every other way. Staying the same is the exact body shape and thickness, the same scale neck, the same wrap-around bridge, the same style tuners, the same style pickups, the same pickguard shape and the same color. However, its improved in playability and even tone. It has a better feeling neck, being thinner and just a bit wider. It has 24 Stainless Steel frets, which are wide and tall. The pickups are hotter, the controls are repositioned for easier access while playing, its tuning stability is unmatched (due to the Zachary Mission impossible nut), its more light weight and of course it has the spike neck coupling and tilt feature. The idea was to create a BETTER guitar, better than the original in every respect, while still maintaining the essence of the original vibe, through the exact body shape and other technical and visual elements.
