Very good looking! Love it![]()

As it's nice and shiny already, it should polish up really well. Great work.
After a long groundhog day, the finish is complete. After lapping in the pickup surrounds for that sweet fit, I have installed some upgrade components, Grover Deluxe tuners and an Epiphone quick connect wiring harness with coil tap, toggle switch and Jack (see the Epiphone pro series) just waiting the Probucker pickups, then this guitar is complete. The wife will be happy to see the end of this one...She has been waiting for me to build a new cot for the baby. I will share some better photos when its completely finished in the GOTM comp.
That looks brilliant!

That is looking great! It would even look better without the pickguard(but I dislike the LP pickguard simply because it hides all that beautiful top of the body)

I'm afraid you'll have to ditch the Les Paul truss rod cover if you want to enter it in GOTM.
