im thinking that the body would be way to wide only problem i can see lol other than that the only other thing i can say is mabey build a standard style of guitar that other people have built that way they can answere u questions better and u get a learning experience ... im no pro by far but there are guys on here i really look up 2 and that have helped me and hopefully they can help u
i think lp's are
17.25" long
bottom is about 12.5"
waist is about 7"
and top part is about 9"
here are a couple of really good links on making the arch and alround build of a lp

hope this helps u
but lps dont have to be that think the one im making now is gonna be a little less then 1.5"thick i love lp shapes but i hate how heavey the darn things are
ok what dimensions are u looking for ... that would help a little if we all new
anotherthing click on my link and view my topics iv asked just about everything 2 know about lps and im sure ull find it there
yeah they are pre inlayed and pre slotted the only difficult thing is finding 1 in the scalelenght u want and radius good thing is its only 30$ and u can get neck blanks for around that 2 (depending on wood) but for the inlays alone may cost 50$ and the fret board mabey another 30 depneding on typ of wood
do u want a set neck, bolt-on or thru? id go with a mahagony for a setneck, maple with wenge laminate for a bolt on, and pretty much what ever ud want with the thru
well i cant find the page so ill just tell u some of the woods u can use :
pauduk (spelling?)
koa
spruse
maple
mahagony
ash
poplar
zebra
alder
redwood
lacewood
purple heart
walnut
rosewood
some cherry
basswood
bubinga
white limba
cocoba
wenge
cedar
fir
snakewood
sycamore
ziricote
it depends what u want to make the neck out of it may be cheaper the buy a neck blank and a preinlayd/fretted fret board off of ebay iv seen them go for 50-150 fretting takes a lot of patience (spelling?) work and tools same with some inlaying tools... all depends just give us some details u want on the neck
well i start off telling u guys that im making a guitar for my wood tech 2 class but the wood selection is not that great 2"oak 2"poplat7/8"maple 1"willow 1"cherry 1"ash and thats pretty much it but most of the boards arent any wider than 6" so im asking do u guys think the guitar would look alright useing 3pieces of walnut and 3 piece of maple or should i just use the oak and make a bolt on neck (oak is 2"x8"x40) with the 3 pieces of maple?oh yeah is oak an ok would 2 use?
