Never built a guitar before but I have some woodworking knowledge and the tools. The plan is outlined below but I don’t know where to start. Clearly there are templates for more cookie cutter build but if I can’t customize how I want then what is the point? I’m sum, where should I start?
Les Paul DC body
Dual humbuckers
neck thru construction
24 frets
string thru with TOM bridge
body wood will be mahogany, no cap, no binding. I’m considering cherry for the neck and Ebony fretboard. I’d like to keep the Gibson style head but it would be great if I could get the strings over the nut with less or no kink. Additionally I’d like to add a zero fret. Appreciate any and all help. Thanks in advance
