Guitars by Addict Steel

The “Bushido” Les Paul is a neck-through-body, Les Paul style guitar which I built for myself in memory of my son Jake.

It is not a Gibson Les Paul guitar.

The reason I say “style” is because other than the superficial resemblance (from the front), the construction is quite different, and it has my own logo. Its not a reproduction, replica, or counterfeit

Its also not for sale. I do not build or sell Les Paul style guitars to customers (so dont ask).

Its merely shown as an example of recent work.
