Hey Obsidianhorse and Reinhold, cheers for the messages left on the video page, yes Obsidi the LP in the background is an Ibby 70's Les Paul copy, it has the lawsuit headstock
It is one of my fave 3 a side shapes, I also like the Guild and Hagstrom headstock shapes. I had the brass nut put on it because I like metal nuts.
I went in to a guitarshop and a dude was in there riffing on it, I could see it was a 70's model, as soon as he put it down, said he would think about and walked out, I turned to the shop guy and said wrap it up, I'll take it.
If there is anyone reading this who is thinking about making a guitar, and wondering how much tools are needed, here is what I used
Power - router, drill press, hand drill, jigsaw
Hand - plane, round bastard, rasp, sureform, coping saw, spokeshave, minifiles
Workbench - I wish, just a crappy little fold out trestle table
Which probably cost me all up around $475
I liked Johnny Foreigner's post where he said that the last stages of the build were so exciting, I agree making a guitar is exciting, so if you haven't already go for it
