That Lester looks divine, as F3X said "I'll be happy if mine turns out half as good"

Me too

Magic stuff SX bass, a few guy I've seen on youtube who do reviews have reviewed a few SX Vintage Strats every one who picks 1 up love them prior to all this crazy stuff affecting prices you could buy a new 1 just a whisker over $200AUD thats about $110-$120USD thats darn cheap for something that plays and sounds that good. I've not done any work for a week, the other Les I just wasn't happy with the binding so have ordered a new 1 ran out of 2k clear and cutting compound. have ordered new stuff waiting for delivery, I had to go to the doctors Tues and Wednesday so I figured while I'm cruzing id drop into a couple of cashier's I haven't done for a couple of years 1 had a wall of guitars in great condition, I spyed a guitar I been looking for ages.

Its a mint J&d luthiers Les Paul custom its the 1s that were built pre law suite, I kid you not if it wasn't for the headstock you would think your were looking at a gibson Les Paul even the true rod cover is identical to a Gibson mahog body and neck soon as I seen it I wanted it, got couple of edge chips came with hard case $395AUD brought home plug him into my Marshall dsl and wow it sounded frigin amazing super low action I played it all day I couldn't put it down I just got to figure out the back stain colour im thinking it may be oak not 100% bit of trial and error needed, it will get the full treatment and look new and go into my favourite guitar rack I've got 7 J&D's 5 Les Pauls and 2 SG's yep I'm a fanboy. I'm currently putting a new motor into my car which I spent $55K on it still got a few bits to buy

when its done im going to buy a AM Strat & AM Tele and a Gibson Paul Black Beauty wanted 1 for years my missus would cut my nuts off if I spend that sort of money so close to doing the car, I want to grab a couple of genuine gibson 57 pick ups for 1 of my SG's im a huge Angus/Malcom young and Aussie and a fan and Rick Brewster from the Angles I knew Doc I only was talking to him a month before he died he was a great guy, I know a few Adelaide musos

got some work done yesterday scrapped out the old binding its 1 job I hate because you can mess it up a few years ago I made a tool to scrape the old binding with out damaging the wood it nerve racking to do but came of good





the tool you can adjust it to fit any size binding and can rotate the carbon blade 180deg and cut a straight line if you want to scrape a Grove to install a binding on like a new tele I put a coupe of coats of clear to protect the maple veneer, New binding should arrive tomorrow or Tuesday got 4lt of 2k clear coming and kg of cutting paste,scraping the binding is the safest way to remove the old stuff using a chisel can mess up the wood and is important the wood is flat and straight sharp edge this one will come out nice if I don't f it up lol

That's an impressive looking little beast! I can't quite picture how you use it, though. But the results suggest it works great.
