That is absolutely beautiful. I love your attention to detail and precision, plus all your little techniques to get the small things right (file angle etc). And the burst turned out perfect. Stunning guitar.

Gibson DOES NOT USE SCARF JOINT on there necks. Gibson at one time used to carve I'm out of one piece of wood and now they use a scene seam machine that carbs them out of one piece of wood.

Would you be so kind to tell me what brand of dyes and colors you used for the burst?

@wkmetaal20 күн бұрын

I bought these colors ( stains) at tlc guitar goods. tlcguitargoods.com in the Netherlands. The burst colors are. Burned yellow,Red baron, Dragons blood, Ancient amber. You better testing it on a piece of guitar body top, wood left over, bevore the real use.

I like the old style bridge where the threaded rod is screwed into the body until bottomed out. Then the thumb wheels, like the ‘59 had. I have a 2022 ‘50s standard that I did the Faber 3117 plus on, and I think it makes a difference. It got rid of the shrill sounding highs current Les Paul’s have, and seems more woody sounding.

Thanks for your tip. I looked them up for a while, looks good. I am now working on my third Les Paul maybe I will apply it here.

I watch a ton of building videos and don't know why i haven't seen this 1. Excellent job my friend.. I have been thinking about trying to build a bass but don't have all the necessary tools to do so.. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos

Great job!

@wkmetaal2 ай бұрын

Hi Freddy, First of all, thank you very much for your response. I am very honored to receive your comment. Your 12-part video series on youtube about the construction of a LP was the inspiration and advice source for me. I have viewed these frequently. Beautiful guitars you build there. I copied the duplicator you use there (I am a welder by profession) and also used it in my first LP construction. also seen on youtube. Next month I start my third build. Keep up the good work. with kind regards, WK The Netherlands.

Why a scarf joint? Seeing a joint on my neck would drive me crazy but that’s just my OCD

@wkmetaal3 ай бұрын

A scarf joint (imo) is the strongest method of angling the headstock. And the wood grains is in the same direction than the headstock.

Great built, what's the diameter of that trussrod drill, is it Gibson vintage style about 18mm or Gibson modern style about 14mm ?

@wkmetaal4 ай бұрын

It is a self made drill with diameter16mm, it is Les Paul '59 style. (@Bartlettguitarparts drawing) Buying the original drill? at Stewmac.com - truss rod access cutter.

Thanks for the comment. I never sell this guitar , i'am playing it every day. In March 2024 i start my third LP build. I'am selling that new build. But that will not to be sent.

@FreeSpeechWarrior4 ай бұрын

You are very organized and methodical. You plan the dimensions, materials, tools, methods, everything right down to the most minute details before you even start. This video is a master class on how to build a superior guitar. Of course it looks just gorgeous. 👍👍

Chambered. 😫😫😒😒

@thomascantasano78162 ай бұрын

Why do you write chambering is negative. I'm building my first from Redwood and weighing options.

@there_is_nothing_here2 ай бұрын

@@thomascantasano7816 it's not negative it's just different. I have played them AB and for me I prefer the tonal difference of unchambered. This is just my personal opinion, but to me it sounds like a Les Paul but thinned out and watered down. I think they sound a lot closer to a hollow body but that may be a preference you like. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Chinese garbage should be banned, a new shaft should be made and the bearing should be checked, which is a waste of time and money. I have the same garbage, I got it for half the price, so I was also attracted by the dimensions.
