LES PAUL guitar BUILDING - complete version

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 พ.ย. 2023
- Complete building process of a custom Les Paul Guitar: every episode, every step, from scratch to finish.
The guitar was ordered on commission by a customer who wanted a revisited Les Paul, with modern and unconventional details.
The main features, however, are faithful to the classic Gibson Les Paul: the body is in Kaya mahogany, top in carved maple, mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard with squared mother-of-pearl fret markers.
Multi-ply binding and ebony headstock, like Gibson standards, but with custom logo.
Medium Jumbo nickel silver frets, double action truss rod, tune-omatic bridge.
The customer wanted the comfort cut both in the body and in the neck attachment area, and also the customer requested to wire the electronic part himself, so that part was not completed by me in this case.

La chitarra è stata ordinata su commissione da un cliente che voleva una Les Paul rivisitata, con dettagli moderni e fuori dagli schemi.
Le caratteristiche principali però sono fedeli alla classica Gibson Les Paul: il corpo è in mogano Kaya, top in acero liscio carvato, manico in mogano e tastiera in ebano con segnatasti squadrati in madreperla.
Binding multistrato e copripaletta in ebano, come da standard Gibson, ma con logo custom.
Tasti medium Jumbo nickel silver, truss rod a doppia azione, ponte tune-omatic.
Il cliente ha voluto lo smusso posteriore sia nel corpo che nella zona dell'attacco manico, e inoltre il cliente ha richiesto di cablare la parte elettronica lui stesso, quindi quella parte non è stata ultimata da me in questo caso. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I don't think I'll ever be as skillful and confident with routing freehand. Nicely done.
Great job! Really good attention to detail. Thanks for posting 🙂.
Great job! I really enjoyed watching your building process.
This is just utterly gorgeous. Top level craftsmanship and great to watch. Keep'em coming!
Did not realises that their were so many parts to the guitar. 😊
Good to see what human hands can do! Great!
This guitar logo is a traditional Japanese design.
It has been used for hundreds of years.
The name of the design is ''Tomoemon'', ''Tomoe'' or ''Kamon(family crest)''.
Tomoemon and Kamon are traditional Japanese culture.
Yes! That was it :)
Very nice work you do there. Brilliant
Awesome Job
Your skill is amazing!
In the reality of things. This is what Gibson is missing after mass production of them. This is why this guitar would be worth more and should be worth more than a real Gibson. Outstanding job
actually Gibson is doing a great job, you should check recent videos about its production
@@fabiojunior7496true..and he should not compare the mass production vs individual production...its diffrent
i'm sure it's the fault, but when, where and how did milling out the cable channel????
indeed, many small but important details were simply left out of the video...if it's about guitar building, I'm interested in everything...
If picking ones nose, you don't have to show all the actions. Same with guitar building.😅
@@karolyrozsa2763 He drilled a hole from the neck pocket towards the pickup cavities. No cable channel. Also looks like no switch and rear cavity on the upper part.
Absolutely stunning!! Would love to see more full builds from scratch!
Thank you! I am releasing videos of a bass built from scratch, you can find them in my Channel, and soon I Will be filming an acustic Guitar build
Boh, quando vedo certi video.... dire artista è riduttivo. Lavoro eccellente
Fantástico trabajo!!!....
Saludos desde España!!!!....❤
Спасибо за видео, великолепный результат!
Great work!
magnifique travail
Like your work. You really should be using some proper ventilation when spraying the fillers and the top coats.
Be safe so you can be around for a real long time. You have very good skills.
I Always wear a active carbon filter Mask, I use nitrocellulose basecoat and acrylic clear coat. Here you see a video-purpose pseudo-coat, so that I can prevent the camera from damages by varnish dust and I can avoid masking.
I would love to have builders on TH-cam all send in their guitar builds and see who makes the best quality/playability/Sounding guitars on this platform. I think there are a few build-off contests....but isn't that invite only?
For our Channel owner - translated to his native language: "Mi piacerebbe che tutti i costruttori su TH-cam inviassero le loro costruzioni di chitarre e vedessero chi produce le chitarre con la migliore qualità/suonabilità/suono su questa piattaforma. Penso che ci siano alcuni concorsi preparatori... ma non sono solo su invito?"
Really nice build. What is the graduation of height for each section when routing to create the archtop?
Hello, in my case is 2mm, but It depends on the inizial thickness of the top and on the shape of the arch you want to achieve

Lovely work. Well done!
Please may I ask - why does everyone use Titebond glue?
Thank you! Titebond is a very convenient glue to use because it dries quickly enough but not too much ( around 30 minutes), it is easy to clean and has a very strong hold, compared to other wood glues such as vinyl. Furthermore, in the case of jobs other than the direct joining of two perfectly coincident surfaces, it can be mixed with very fine wood powder to ensure that it adds a little thickness where needed and that when it dries it acts as a structural filler. Furthermore, it is quite economical and lasts a long time. Hope It helped
Thanks for taking the time to write that Ross!
Titebond is also vinyl glue (PVA). It's only available in one specialist woodworking store where I live - at 26€ litre.
I've always used a more generic hardware store-bought D3-strength PVAc glue costing 8€ litre. I found this on the difference:
1. Chemical Composition
PVA Adhesives: PVA adhesives are synthetic adhesives based on polyvinyl alcohol. Polyvinyl alcohol is a polymer whose basic structture contains vinyl alcohol monomers.
PVAc Adhesives: PVAc adhesives are synthetic adhesives based on polyethylene vinyl acetate. Its basic structure consists of ethylene vinyl acetate monomer.
2. Scenes To Be Used
PVA Adhesives: Suitable for scenes that require transparency, flexibility and good water resistance, such as handicrafts, paper arts, woodworking, etc.
PVAc Adhesives: Suitable for scenes that require high bonding strength and relatively minor water resistance, such as carpentry, decoration and construction.
The PVAc has worked for me as a filler on its own or mixed with shavings. However, it dries hard as rock, so care must be taken to wipe off all excess in this use. But for jointing boards, it's just fine and planes easily.
I have to thank you for starting me on this research. I had no idea about PVA or PVAc before. I'm just a hobbyist woodworker, but I'm preparing for a guitar build.
Finally, again - Your guitar is exceptional! ;-)
Great video! I have a question: why would you not shape the neck before doing all the fretwork and headstock work? I'm not a luthier, so I ask out of complete ignorance. I would just be afraid of accidentally damaging or scratching it during the shaping.
HI! Thank you. because if I made the shape of the neck before placing the frets I wouldn't have a solid support to hammer the frets into the grooves. it's one of the methods, other luthiers who use the press for the frets instead of the hammer, make the shape of the neck before and then put the frets, they are two equivalent methods, depending on taste :)
@@RossLiuteriaItaly Okay. Very interesting. Thanks for your response!
Fabulous build. How much does the guitar weigh?
Thank you, something around 3.2 kilos
Thanks@@RossLiuteriaItaly
I need a les Paul in 7 strings, price please
Hello, It depends on specs :) let's say between 2300 and 3000 euros. If you want to ask me a detailed quote, email me at ciao@rossliuteria.com

quante h di lavoro in tot?
Grazie! Parecchie :) non le ho contate ma direi circa un centinaio/150
Would you please send me guitar free... 😁
