Great job! Wanted to ask Did you intentionally stray from 100% pure historic spec in certain areas on purpose? You did do the long neck tenon and true ABR1 post's but there are a few minor areas where you did not stay pure historic?
@wkmetaalКүн бұрын
A big difference is, that I did not glued the wood with the original glue. (that they used then) No hide glue/ hot glue.

Wow, you are set up quite well for building Les Pauls. You could probably crank them out fairly efficiently at this point.

Great job it looks really cool, can I make one suggestion as a fellow guitar builder please get yourself a big router, that little battery powered thing is designed for finish work and you are a good enough builder to deserve a powerful router that you don't have to struggle so hard with!

That is not a joke. I build guitars too (formerly in Arnhem, the Netherlands, now in Spain. Aspe Guitars). During my first years I built several Gibson LP copies until I was visited at my stand during a guitar show by a lawyer from Gibson! They gave me a very serious last warning.

Thanks for sharing, I'm about to begin a LP build but with some different approaches. I was surprised with the binding in the lower cutaway that you didn't reduce the wood height there manually with a carve so the maple didn't show under the binding. I'm very impressed with your use of your own created jigs and techniques. Very clever thinking throughout this whole video!
@wkmetaal9 күн бұрын
You're absolutely right about that. This applies only to the guitars made between 1952 through 1960. ( source reference: book " The beauty of the burst") with this build guitar, I kept the dimensions of Les Paul's 1959. The donut ring you see in the video provides the lift up

Also, where did you get or download the paper that was on the benxh? I’m planning to do some research on Les Paul as well, so I wanted to ask you for this information. Many thanks!

Thanks for youre nice comment. It would be better if Gibson did it this way. the construction of the neck becomes much stronger. the glued surface is also stronger than the wood itself. The wood grain then continues a lot more evenly up to the tuners
