frankenstrat Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 i have been thinking about building a les paul double cut style guitar. i cam across this http://www.warmoth.com/showcase/wgp_body_d...temNumber=lpsc7 it seems there is not alot of meat around the neck pocket....i was wondering how stable it would be....anyone used this?

GuitarMaestro Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 I have to agree that the neck pocket doesn't look very stable. I would not doubt Warmoth products though. They have alot of expirience and a very good reputation, so I guess they wouldn't build the body like this if it wouldn't be stable enough.

MikeB Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 it does look a bit skimpy, but im sure it would be fine, as long as the neck is nicely secured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kench Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 I have this old italian guitar EKO Florentine 1967.... it has a bolt on neck, just like the Warmoth's double cut LP. The body is maple (as it says in the brochure but mine looks like mahogany), the neck pocket is smaller and much thinner than the Warmoth's,... the body isn't even solid... and it's still stable.

kench Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 yes its a cool guitar.. but unfortunately mine is damaged... I took this guitar from a friend of mine 8 years ago.. it was hanging on his wall and i said.. "hey can i have it?".. and he said "yes"... It was originally the single cutaway version (like a LP).. but someone made it double cut when converting it to a left hand guitar, and damaged the body very roughly, when replacing the pickups with fullsize humbuckers and placing pots, jack hole on the otherside, etc... It's been staying in my closet for 8 years until I decided to build a new solid body for it couple of weeks ago. This is how it looks like "right now". i just took the pics.. and sorry about the bad flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankenstrat Posted January 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 yeah, you guys are probably right, warmoth is a good company, so they probably know what they are doing. wow, that floretine is a good looking guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KILOWAT® Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 the les paul 2cutaway looks good but,i would like it better if the neck is glued not bolt on..... some say for more sustain (maybe)... but i like glued neck for easier acces to high tone.... and for a 2 cut les paul i'ts perfect ...
