I see....

Im going to canada in like 1 week (i live in australia but im canadian strange) and i will get some mahoghany for the neck pocket and the neck - then some nice flamed maple for my new top and my project will get started hopefully it can be a tutorial for the few who wish to do this.

I just need the les paul templates...... does anyone have them?

I will definitally (cant spell lol) try first as soon as im back in school and have use of the awesome tools, and ive got some good wood to do this on,

here is what i plan to do in a drawed format to explain myself better.

Body

Im going to try this soon, well once i get my wood - i am going to retop my guitar aswell as the top on it is horrible and i like everything of my guitar except the colour of the pickups and the top + colour of top back and sides

so im going to strip the paint of my guitar completely everything but headstock lol and refinish it, jimmy page style, im even going to trim the headstock down to his sized one - im crazy, then remove my crappy rosewood fretboard and put on a ebony fretboard with jimmy pages Zoso logo at the 12th fret and maybe parrallogram inlays for the rest as they are awesome.

- one crazy canadain - tell me if im a madman

also can you explain your T - 5 side glueing theory i dont really understand..

Hi

This is one of my crazy ideas that i want to try out on my guitar (greco 1970's bolt neck les paul - pos)

I was wondering if it would be possible to

Fill in the Neck pocket with a piece of wood cut exactly to size and fill in the holes make it look as if it was part of the 2 piece boy, then put a piece of wood on the heel of the bolt neck maybe by maybe a half housing joint (if thats what you call it) and carve it to match the heel and glue it, then route the neck and body for a set neck joint.

can it be done? tell me if i didnt explain myself propelly and i will maybe draw it...

Beautiful work on this guitar xlr8, awesome.. keep up the good work

Its beautiful craftsmanship, but in my eyes its a waste of time - a show piece

i would rather spend my time making a double neck les paul something crazy with a faded goldtop finish.

DeanZ - stunning Tele - Original, kind of reminds me of a les paul custom in a way - i dunno thats just me

the only thing i would do to the guitar is yes, put a ebony veneer on the headstock with some nice mop inlay and some gold grover imperials - thatd be crazy.

Albertop - excellent work - i like the SG and The LP aswell

that les paul is a brilliant job for your first guitar - i would have only done one more thing - put binding on it bottom and top 5ply and neck

i love this tele it is beautiful, excellent craftsmanship

Hi guys im new, after seeing some of the work that is in these forums i was stunned, especially that Goldtop Archtop - i forget who makes it but i congratulate them on their efforts - beautiful job, and also that very spectacular les paul by setch.

I have been looking for an article on this for a while but could not come across one so i decided to ask you guys for help.

Is it possible to remove a top on a les paul and put on another one? - in my case my les paul has a chamber under the top so it makes it rather thin - i want to remove it and make a top out of ziricote wood. If anyone can give me some help on how this could be done it would be very appreciated (not that i dont have my own ideas )

also what would the pros and cons be of making a top for a guitar with 4 pieces instead of 2?
