Thanks!
Pretty build but dayum dude, so many pics are out of focus!🙄
Thanks !
Now sir how much would a 59 Lee Paul from you cost me without hardware And paint. with that sick gibson headstock! I could send you a case?
Thanks for your question. Right now I don't have time for builds like this.
Quedó buenísima la viola!!! Sounds really cool! Chears from Argentina! By the way i'm trying to build one aswell!
Good luck.
Way too much red
I think the weight relief loses some tone
Nice work
I’m about to do the same thing. Can you tell where you bought the Marshall logo? Thanks
I got it from the same people who sell the cloth. They are called solsound. I just had a look and they still stock the logos at £25.00 each. That seems a lot more than I paid. Do a Google search. They seem easily available.. Good luck.
@@John_Bauers thanks for the reply!
beautiful job! how did you get the gold tinting on the gibson logo?
Thanks for the question. The nitro clear coat was pre-aged by leaving it exposed to sunlight for a few months. This turns it amber hence the hue.
Just one of the most amazing DIY Les Pauls I´ve have seem..
How thick was the neck blank?
What's that stuff you sprayed on the body at the beginning?
Once the guitar was sanded, I sprayed water onto the wood which causes the grain to puff up slightly or raising the grain. This only needs to be done once as further wetting no longer causes the grain to swell. I then sanded it back again. This helps to get a smoother finish.
Hey I am in the middle of making the neck, do you think is a good idea to make the heel with the proper angle instead of the neck pocket having it? I can’t figure out how to carve the neck pocket with the right angle, for me it’s easier to just carve the angle on the neck heel, let me know.
Do what ever you find easiest. I found the best way for me was to have the 4 degree angle as part of the body carve then the route for the neck tenon is parallel to it and the fret board will sit on the body. I think I reduced the suggested 4.5 degree angle to 4 degrees so that the ABR1 bridge would be a bit lower. Good luck. I hope this helped.
Thanks !
Very helpful video. And yeah, finding guitar parts in the cab is very rock and roll - old school.
Using a power drill with a phillips #2 bit will make screw removal much quicker and save your wrist verses a screw driver.
Thanks for putting up the video was just what I needed!
good evening very good build and video.i would like to ask few thins. how deep you rout the pocket?
Do you mean for the neck? To be honest I can't remember what I did. I used the Bartlet plan which is based on a 59. I made a set of templates, if you bare with me for a couple of days I'll let you know.
Very nice build,typed this at 13:32,because i was thinking about your profile gauges and i thought you could have used a needle type profile gauge,but,here's something for you to look into because i was going to do this myself,the PANTOGRAPH,it can copy the profile of another object using a stylus to follow an objects profile while its opposite end has a router fixed to it,with a ball end cutter it's the closest you will get to a cnc finish,just buy a cheapo LP,pocket the neck as per a real LP and you have a repeatable profile,the internal chambering would be super easy,just make a profile with a router and a jigsaw etc,you could cut the underside of the maple cap to follow the external profile first and it would resonate the way they should,i myself am making a cnc to do this type of thing ,i make tube amps too,so it sort of seems right,plus the cnc will help with the amps.And i want to make a nice strat body,maybe laminated,i have a p.o.s. kimaxe strat i reworked ,and it plays so good,i fitted a cheap chinese floyd rose to it,used a real floyd locking nut and some real screws here and there,do jimmy dive bombs and it stays in tune ,fast to play,easy on the fingers super low action,stainless frets,the body is plywood,that's the only downside. did the same to a LP copy,same deal ply body,refret ,binding undamaged,though that was more to see if i could do it. Great looking guitar,and real nice finish so far,plus you made it,that's a good feeling when it's played.
Clear and concise instructions - thanks!
All of the music on this video was recorded using this guitar haha.
This was really informative, thanks!
Muchas Gracias por la explicación. Muy práctico. Thanks so much for the explanation. Very practical.
Dónde compraste el grill cloth ?
I'm about to replace my grill in between weekly gigs. I was going to use the existing logo. Is it possible to remove the old grill clothe and keep the logo in one piece?
Yes. The logo has pins on the back that locate into holes. You can see them in one of my photos on the vid. You should be able the carefully prize it off. The only tricky bit is finding the holes once you have replaced the grill cloth. Good Luck.
Excellent work.
This build is so cool, when i read the comments i see people commenting about the name but fuck if people rebuild a Fiero into a Ferrari replica they put on the Ferrari badge so why shouldn't you? Your own name on there and your own headstock design would be cool too don't get me wrong but as long as you're not selling it or even if you do sell it some day (can't imagine it) and you're honest about making it yourself i don't see the problem. Very nice build, hope to build one of these myself one day and if it comes out half as nice as yours i'd be a happy man.
WOW.
How long did it take to make?
Including the templates, which I can use again, it took about 120 hours. It's 4 years old now, the sun burst has faded slightly (to be expected) and she sounds and plays great.
J Bauers looks great!
Would you make a LEFTHAND one for me
where did you find that Les Paul model stencil?? looks fantastic.
Jerrold Morgan hi Jerrold, the stencil was made for me by a sign maker, it cost about £7.00. The art work came from a guy who's name I forget now on the mylespaul forum. On originals this was screen printed but for a one off I chose the stencil approach. cheers.
J Bauers Thank You! I'm building a replica myself. This looks like an easier way than fooling with screen printing. I was looking for another way besides using a decal. Thanks for the info. Your burst looks great! I like how you used masking liquid too. I've been using that on relic fender style builds for years.
Jerrold Morgan Most sign companies that sell vinyl lettering should be able to cut you a stencil. Good luck with your build. Mine turned out great, I love it.
Who composed this music? Its amazing
Do you have any idea how many hours you had in it? It looks amazing!
how did you get the headstock inlay to go yellow?
Wow! Perfect! Just as good as the real thing I'm sure. Did you use Nitrocellulous laquer? And screw these guys that say you shouldn't have put "Gibson" on it. It's a '59 replica! But I suppose it's ok that Slash's actual Appetite "'59 Les Paul" was actually made by a Southern CA luthier! Gibson still managed to take credit and make tons of money off of someone else's guitar. You see the paradox here? Anyway, fantastic work
How tight should you pull the cloth when you are stapling it to the board? any tips in order to prevent floppy areas? how much grill cloth did you buy to do this cab? 36x32?
I have to agree with my friend Ken over at Boudreau Guitars....nice build but I would have omitted the Gibson name and put your own name on it. You built it and not Gibson so show a little pride and give yourself the credit !
Where did you source the new grill cover material?
Oh by the way that is a 1960AX. The BX is a straight cab without any slant.
+Peter Denny I got the grille cloth from solsound eBay shop. Solsound sell a lot of Marshall type stuff if you need to restore anything. They sell it by the meter. You are right in that the 'AX' refers to the top, split angle 4 x12 and the 'BX" the bottom cab in the classic Marshall stack. The AXs are quite common but the BXs seem quite rare.
I found the best price here: www.mojotone.com/Cabinets_x/Grillcloth_x/Large-Check-Grill-Cloth_2
Very informative, thanks for the video!
one word ; WOW!!!!!
Great great guitar. Labor of love.
I seen how you started the contour with the router but how did you do the final routing to get a smooth finish?
+Billy Shelton Once I routed the contour lines I used a pad sander to blend the lines, I also made a sanding block to get the 're-curve' where the level around some parts of the edge dip below the leve of the body binding.
hello !! Came out good I want to ask you where did you get the fingerboard ????
+CsisziVideos . I made the fret board out of Indian rose wood, (originals used Brazilian rose wood but that stuff is so endangoured as a speicies that I will not use it). the inlays came from Philidelphia luthier supplies. I used a 12" radius block to sand the curve. Can't remember where I got the fret wire from but the binding is CBA plastic just like the 59's.
+J Bauers Thanks!!!!!
That sounds great John! awesome tone.
How did you make the stencil for the les paul model?
I had the stencil made by a sign company. Originaly the 'Les Paul Model' was screen printed onto the headstock but for a one off a stencil worked just as well. There is more information about this on the 'mylespaul.com' website. Thanks for looking.
