Nicely done! Glad to see you moved the strap button to the top horn. The originals were right behind the neck heel and very head stock heavy!?!?! On the originals the neck P/U was right up to the fretboard. It put the pole pieces in the sweet spot / right on the octave node. Something to consider if you ever build another.

What is wrong with some people?? why the 'thumbsdown'??? Here we have someone with the passion and the skill to make a musical instrument that will bring pride and satisfaction to the builder, and pleasure to those who hear the results of his labours. In these days of mass production and of guitars being made by computer driven machines how wonderful to see a Craftsman working 'old school', and with a nod to the 'Arts and crafts' movement of my Country (England) where people like this turned their backs on mass production and used their skill to make everything they needed.

I've been a musician for over 35+ years and always wanted to build my very own electric guitar from scratch. Your build inspires me to get off my duff and get crackin'. You make it look so effortless but I know you've probably messed up a thousand times along the way to get where you are with your skills today. I'm always in a hurry and just need to learn to relax, have patience and learn to accept the failures as they come along (which I am certain they will). Wish me luck!

Ron Williams Hi Ron, not sure if I have made Thousands of mistakes, but it hundreds with doubt. 😂 The Les Paul build was not without them. On the neck headstock angle and the paint finishing cause problems. Best advice Ron is think hard about what ever job you are doing and how your going to approach it, many time before going for it. Specially if it’s something you have not done before. Also there is more than one way to do any job on building a guitar. Work with the tool you have to hand. Also many mistakes can be put right. Go for it Ron. Thank you for the great comment. Best wishes Mike

@@mitarrguitars hi man, how do you "place" the trussrod to the guitar neck? I mean that green stuff You use to cover it? What product you use to do that?

@ lucas rf The green stuff is just a very thin paper tape which stops the glue going into the truss rod slot. Mike

Beautiful work! I live in an apartment now, but once i have a house and have some space for a workshop, i think a junior will be my first guitar build, and it's cool to see one go through the process

Eric Altpeter .. Thank you Eric, you don't need some much space. Just do one job at a time. I hope your dream of an LP junior build comes off. I'm just start to build and film a 52 Telecaster, hope you enjoy that. Be posted around September 2017. Mike

Junior Kong Hi Junior Kong, just do what works for you. There are dozen of different way to do jobs. Work with what you have and how you feel comfortable doing them. The wood is just so expensive these day you don’t what to mess it up. Has long as you get the result you are after and work safe in a clean workshop or garage in my case, than happy days. Hope you enjoyed the film. Best wishes Mike.

Thank you so much for the info. I love this song of the album "talk to your daughter" of Robben Ford, I've forgot since many years. I've seen Robben Ford in France last year, he played his new album, good album but Robben is not a sympatic guy, very close on stage and hurry to go out of the stage. Desapointed but happy for the music. Thank you sir, and keep on building guitars, I'm jealous of your work, I would like make the same. Kind regards........excuse my poor English. Jocelyn
