Les Paul type episode 1

Starting a new build

[@lumberlikwidator8863]

Some builders damp out truss rod rattling by wrapping the entire length of the rod with tape before installation. It works well for me. Great video. I really enjoy watching methods other builders use, it helps me a lot with my cramped and under-equipped workshop. This was fun to watch. Thanks for sharing!

Good job !!!

[@saulgoodeguitars]

Glad you got some of the squeeze out Reminds me of adult movies when squeeze out isn’t wiped away 🤣

[@saulgoodeguitars]

Number 1 prolific builder on the tube

[@PImanCustomGuitars]

Wow - straight back on it! You're a machine Neil - you make me feel a bit lazy ... And where would we be without The Electric Herald! It will be interesting to know how heavy the finished guitar is without any weight relief.

[@Eeklex]

I like how you incorporated the top join and attaching it to the body into a single step.

[@nsjguitarsakascotsman6989]

It's partly because the back is a one piece and partly because the idea crossed my mind lol

[@ghosthawk65]

You are the rolling stone of guitar building… never letting moss grow under your workbench before launching into a new project. Brilliant! P90’s or humbuckers?

[@nsjguitarsakascotsman6989]

Humbuckers, nice bright ones. P90 are on the list though for a future build.

[@micksguitarsarecool]

i like that way of clamping the fretboard for glue up

[@nsjguitarsakascotsman6989]

Lol

[@EntropiaGuitars]

Well. That was fast.

[@saulgoodeguitars]

Slightly disappointed you didn’t do a copper top

[@jonahguitarguy]

About that bass truss rod rattle, just give it a little tension. Even if the rod is loose side to side it shouldn't rattle if it's got tension on it.

[@nsjguitarsakascotsman6989]

It has tension but still rattles, I'm going to drill a fret marker out, stick on a dowel to push against the rod then redo the fret marker. It's fine until you hit certain notes then it hums lol

[@calbrockocat8728]

All right! A Les Paul by NSJ! This is going to be really interesting. That ash and mahogany- this may be about 12lbs. Any belly carving or classic style?

[@nsjguitarsakascotsman6989]

It'll be about a regular les paul weight, maple isn't light lol Aa for the rest you'll have to wait and see lol

[@dougheckler2398]

'bout time!

[@nsjguitarsakascotsman6989]

Yeh man, I'm slacking lol

[@OldeSchoolRcUk]

The bass is rattling? Can you send me a video or audio of the rattle/vibration buddy please. Had a Charvelle Bass back in the day. Turned out to be the bodies rear neck plate wasn’t quite flush sitting as the body wasn’t quite flat enough in around a thousandth out after I’d sanded and lawyered it.

[@nsjguitarsakascotsman6989]

It's the truss rod 100%, knew it was a possibility when I was building it. Think I said it in a vid. Rod was a bit of a loose fit. Be an easy fix though

[@OldeSchoolRcUk]

@@nsjguitarsakascotsman6989 yea no worries and I’m sore you Will buddy.
