Skydogfan81 Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Does anybody know where to buy les paul kits that come with a glue in neck (with long neck tenon), mahogany body, and maple top? I have only been able to find really cheap kits with basswood bodies and bolt on necks Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skydogfan81 Posted March 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 thanks, This kit say it comes preassembled and that you take it apart to paint it. I'm looking for a project LP that I can glue the neck on. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegarehanman Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Why can't you buy an lp that already has the neck glued in? What you're asking for is an entirely machined guitar that's unfinished with the neck yet to be glued in, correct? Unless you simply want to glue the neck in yourself(which isn't that exciting, I assure you), I don't understand why a rebuild of a premade lp is out of the question.

erikbojerik Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 The "vintage correct" caught my eye. Once you get deep into Les Paul history, especially 1958-1960, you quickly come to realize that "vintage correct" is a list with about 1000 things on it, most of which even Gibson doesn't get right on their reissues. Because of their value, there is an entire group of experts with encyclopedic knowledge of vintage LPs who are routinely hired to judge the authenticity of guitars that will command $100,000 or more (mostly more). I find it pretty fascinating myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it pretty fascinating myself. No doubt. You could put two '59 LPs side by side and the little differences would be staggering. One might play like butter, the other like crap. Even the reissues are way more accurate to spec than most originals. If you want an R9 and you don't want to build it from scratch, you're better off buying one or having it custom built. There's plenty of good strat kits out there, and it's for all the reasons why there's not a good set-neck LP kit out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
