Wretched

Beautiful fret ends!

Why is it that you feel the need or feel that you have the right to illegally use the Les Paul namesake? Highly doubt you've obtained a licensing agreement from the Les Paul estate.. I wouldn't say anything except you build for profit and that you've printed his name on several of your builds before.

however, looking at the missing finish on the edges of the headstock and the dents in the finish on the heel pictures... I'd say the finish quality is right in line with the stuff Gibson slaps his name on these days...

Steady on. He's clearly put his own brand name on it at the top of the headstock. Sure, Gibson probably could call BS on the use of the LP name, but he's clearly not trying to fool anyone.

Dude, they're going to look beautiful!

I freakin' LOVE that chunky metal flake! been meaning to find an Ibz Talman in that finish.

Excellent finish quality! Well done. Do you find everything is nice and solid despite so much wood being removed from the neck joint?

Awesome build! I like the JS but don't like the square heal I had on my JS400.

You thought about submitting your work to mags like Premier Guitar for their luthier section at the back of the magazine each issue? Would be great to see such workmanship get some exposure on a wide scale.

Congratulations from Australia! Once had the same issue with a stranger trying to take a photo of me and Chip Foose, the hot rod designer in Las Vegas. Oh well, I know I met him. Didn't matter if the pic was blurry.

Best wishes to you and your family!

So great to see someone thinking outside of the box AND thinking environmentally. In all the 'thinking' I've done about what I'd do when building a guitar, the sustainability of the parts I'd have chosen didn't even enter my mind until I saw this build and I would normally consider myself fairly aware of such things. Excellent!

Can't believe people had been arguing about the shape. It's lovely and unique. Keep up the good work!

Your threads are always as informative as they are inspirational. Keep it up!

Great shape and cool logo! I love the twist on the LP/single-cut shape.

Well done on your first binding jobs, man. They look totally pro.

Nice one!

Man, you needn't have worried. That turned out so nicely!

What an awesome, productive and positive bonding experience! So cool.

Totally beautiful work! Love the dimensionality of it.

Haha nice! What kind of light? A strobe? LED?

Can I ask what the connection with Lit is? Big fan, building it for the band? In the band?

Nice save!

Still waiting!

You ever get this one finished? Love the control layout. Will they pop up or will you have to spin them around with a finger tip?

Am I the only one who can't see the latest images?

You really make a very complicated build process look decidedly easy. Well done!

What about routing out a consistent void and putting an inlay through the centre? Maybe even just one that matches one of the veneers used in the neck?
