The LP traditionals are one piece.
What? I thought scarf joints were one of the ways to tell a fake..... Pulling mine out now....
Mine is most definitely one piece.
I did a bit of research and looks like most LP's are one piece and Epi's are a scarf joint but sure not all of them like Pablo's
Of course they are! Was getting confused with Epis....
So, back to the first line of thought re leaving a volute in the transition area.....
Actually man, I was just looking at pics of my SG and that was a one piece, I don't know what the hell made me think otherwise.Quote:

here's the LP traditional stats

Thank you. I was having a moment there......
You are absolutely right about the volute, DB. Never gonna happen though.
Funny you know, all these issues with necks, I'd never realised you were supposed to drop them, Just shows how silly I am.... :P
I've got 13 guitars in the house with gibson style necks. Ever since I bought my first guitar in 1968 when I was just 16, bought it from Melb music centre above Brashes in Melb, I've been very carefool how I handle guitars, be they mine or anyone elses. I haven't broken one. Guess now based on all the above I need to stop being anal about stuff, and start bashing the crap out of them.. ;P
##Typo Corrected.... sort of I like being carefu# about things..##

Ah Humor, it's so funny
nice one PK. You might want to proof read a word in the 2nd paragraph an honest typo haha
Hahahahaha! That's gold.
That's when you "care"... but not really:-)
haha must be Barge, today the forum have invented 3 new words !
I like your new word PK, it has another prefix: givvaQuote:

But in the interim I've straightened the neck on one of his acoustics and re-adjusted the pick ups on his Eagle ii.
I was going to fix his Cort, but he took that to QLD.
But while he was home this arvo, he has reported to me that the Cheapy acoustic I fixed the neck on now plays better than his Cort.
GO FIGURE.... LOL maybe the old man does know what he's talkin about.
@Stan, I've been on the lookout for a fixer. I shied away from the Framus Jazz body http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Vintage-1.../251890805822? on fleace bay as it misght be too tough a call to find a neck that fits.
PK
PK
that Framus is nice: time to learn neck building , PK!
Hey PK, sure I could whip up a neck for it.. Could even just do the basics and leave the final shaping etc for you to finish...
PM me if you are interested.
PK, that Framus would be one awesome project. Beautiful body, go for it

I have a 2013 Gibson Les Paul Studio, it's a regular rather than a Deluxe model, other than having to replace the original Kluson Deluxe tuners (they exhibited varying degrees of backlash with the A-string tuner being the worst with about 1/4 turn of backlash), has had relatively few issues, I use a product called Big Bends Nut Sauce (a special friction-reducing lubricant).
My Les Paul Studio is finished in Vintage Sunburst, has Gibson's 480 and 490T (I think ) pickups, has coil-tapping on both pickups (to activate you just pull the pickup volume knobs away from the body) that convert the pickups to single coils when activated.
Here's a pic of the guitar:Attachment 2525
