    Hey robin, the brush trick works pretty well! It only takes a bit of time, but after a week or so you will see the glue starting to come out!

    Thanks for the encouragement Callum. Time is the one thing I have plenty of, so this will be a labour of love.

    If it was too easy everyone would be building guitars

    According to DB, time AND patience!!! He says that normally a build is 10% build, 90% sanding!!!

    Hey Pest, can you explain a bit more about the week long process you mentioned. Surely you arent spending hours and hours every day removing glue spots?

    yes Pest you will have bigger forearms than Popeye if you are sanding for hours and hours and will be left with a smaller LP than a junior !

    No, I don't spend hours and hours everyday, because of school... I should have mentioned at least a week if you have a workload like me!

    Wokka, you talking about LP Juniors??? They are the same size as any Gibbo LP, it's called the Junior because it's a "starter model", it doesn't have as much stuff in it!!!
