Looking For Les Paul Blueprints

[b3nn1]

Hey everybody,

does anybody here have a Gibson Les Paul blueprint (Link) ?

I've been searching a long time yet... If nobody has one, I'm thinking about buying one from Stewmac.com

The only problem is that I'm from Germany

It will be my first guitar yaaay

Greetings from germany <3

You can buy plans from Stew Mac, or from www.guitarplansunlimited.com. I've heard StewMac's are good, but not 100% accurate. The guitarplansunlimited plans are for a generic 'LP clone' and look pretty good. I've dealt with the owner, Jamie Unden, on the MIMF, and I know he's a good guy.

IMO, you can do without - all you need to produce a good LP is a reliable template, and your own drawings to determine the top carve and neck angle. The MIMF library has free templates, based on a number of 50's instruments, by John Catto - IMO these are the most accurate you're going to find.

These, combined with some drawings I made, and a basic knowledge of guitar geometry, produced my LP:

Wow you are THE guy who made the lp ! Respect, it's one of the best guitars I ever saw

Right now I'm thinking about making the body and just buying a neck

http://www.guitarplansunlimited.com/ offers body-only templates...

It would be a mahogony body and maple top - I think this is even possible for a newbie like me

Thanks for the kind words, it's one of my favorite guitars too.

'GuitarPlansUnlimited' carry LP plans too, listed under the 'gibsonish styles' section of the plans. If you look in the 'body templates' section, that's all you'll find
