This is my version of the classic Les paul. Australian Re Cedar top (hand shaped), Mahogany body and neck, Rosewood fretboard, Maple bindings (body, neck and headstock), Ebony pickguard, and covers, Golden Age PAF pickups. I love carving the necks on my guitars and now that I am making a few carved instruments (violin, cello, archtops etc) I think I have finally worked out my "sweet spot"

Hi all, I haven't posted any guitars in this forum before but thought I'd show you a recent build. This is my version of a Les Paul Junior. Australian Red Cedar top on a Mahogany body. Mahogany neck, Ebony Pickguard, cavity cover, truss rod cover and fretboard. Mick Brierley P90 hand wound pickup. Grey tiger Capacitor. Gotta love that 50's sound!
