ccbryan Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Hi guys, I just discovered this site... very very cool. I'll be enjoying it for quite a while. I thought I'd introduce you to my project guitar as well, a made-from-scratch Les Paul ©. The whole story is on my website so I won't clutter up the bandwidth too much here. Note: Yahoo has pretty strict bandwidth limits, so if it comes up unavailable, just try back a little later. Thanks for looking and I'll see you around...

CudBucket Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 That's beautiful! Now, I'm gonna go home and burn my project guitar. Is that a Powermatic 64A? I have one too! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setch Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Nice work! Everything looks very nicely attended to, especially the carve - far better than my first one. The neck does look super chunky, but that's all personal preference (and quite possibly camera angle) so if it works for you it great - I know my first had a real baseball bat neck, and i still love it! What's next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

www Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 That is a fine guitar you pulled off. Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccbryan Posted December 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Thanks for the kind words guys. I really am enjoying this guitar. It sounds absolutely killer, big, warm, round sound with loverly bite when you want it. The Gibson 57s are outstanding! It's a dense, heavy sucker too... don't know if I mentioned it on my site but it's right around 10 pounds. Really dense, perfectly quartersawn mahogany. Yes Dave, that's a PM 64a. I'm pretty happy with it too! My only quibble was that the table and wings weren't extremely flat, but I felt like they were within my tolerances, especially since I didn't want to take the sucker apart once I got it together! And yes Setch, the neck is a trifle chunky, but I wouldn't go so far as bringing baseball into it! Not real deep but with slightly square shoulders. A bit wide too; I used the full width of the binding without really thinking about it rather than thinning it down, which gave it a shade more width. It's not a familiar neck profile, but it's very friendly. And it's the first neck I ever made, so whaddaya want for nothing?

JackyB Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Wow, that is easily one of the nicest Les Pauls I have ever seen. You did an absolutely superb job with the burst, the colors go togethe perfectly. I like how you left the mahogany "natural." The back of the body and neck of my Les Paul are painted a deep red. I really like the natural, though. Excellent work, sir. It's a very fine specimen of a Les Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
