I just finished my latest project and thought I would share it. It is a goldtop les paul copy with a poplar body, mahogany neck, creambuckers, keystone tuners, adjustable wraparound. It plays and sounds great. It actually plays easier and better than my friends $2400 Gibson Les paul.







I have never been a fan of les pauls at all, but I really like the look and feel of this guitar.

You do great work, my man.

That's awesome. What all did you do, specifically? Is it a Warmoth or did you do it all? I've always wanter to build a guitar all the way through...

Knowing his previous builds, he built it himself.

Seriously good going mate.

Bloody hell.

Headstock binding? Intense.

3 ply binding by the looks of it.

Madd doesn't even describe the skills here. How did you learn this stuff and can you adopt me please?

does no one else remember when he started this beast?
im pretty sure its a copy, but i can't remember which kinda copy.
i rember seeing it all sanded back and what not.
either way its tits!
altho, last night when i looked at i thought something looked off and this morning i realized what it was.
its that fact that im conditioned to seeing body binding.

Bloody great.

I bought a les paul copy off craiglist for the neck (sold the body) and bought a blem body off of ebay. The body needed a lot of work....as did the neck. I had to route out the body for proper neck placement.

Here is the body how I got it. It was beat up pretty bad.


Here is the neck from the other guitar.



Here it is after I had stripped it all back and glued the neck on.


I was going to make it all from scratch but I got the body and neck so freaking cheap that I went ahead and used them.

wow... great work!

id fuck it
