Thank you Woden I've always been in love with the Les Paul design, I believe it's the queen of guitars! Pickups are Seymour Duncan Jazz at the neck and JB at the bridge. I like how they sound but one day I would like to try some handwound pickup or PAF replica... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nollnoll7 Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 For my personal taste the fretboard inlay is a bit too much, but I take my hat to that impressive craftsmanship. Great sound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great sound. Thanks! As I said before, this guitar was built as a sum of everything I've learnt in three years of guitar building, so I wanted to do a full inlay on the fretboard and on the headstock. I felt in love with inlays admiring Larry Robinsons' masterpieces, so this is a kind of tribute to his style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pan_kara Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 I agree that the inlay is a bit much when seen on the guitar, but man is this just soo beautiful!! Makes me really want to try inlaying something more complex than a star (that's the most adventurous I got so far) but seriously cannot imagine the amount of precision and patience that such a design would require. Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats! Thank you! If you haven't read it yet, I suggest you "The art of inlay" by Larry Robinson. It's a small book, but it covers the technique very well. He made some dvds too, but I haven't seen them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StratsRdivine Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Ditto what everyone else said - outstanding work, insane attention to detail. My favorite part is the serrated edges of the leaf inlays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prostheta Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Totally. The last couple of months have been some high-level competition, so I'm glad that you re-entered this month. It's a guitar that you can be extremely proud of; people who've been building for many many years would have trouble pulling off something like your Les Paul. Congratulations!
