Thread: My Guitar Build - LP-1

  1. #1
    Hi Everyone,

    Here are a couple of photos of my build... an awesome project. Love the sound and the feel of the guitar. Can't wait to do my next one. Such a great learning process.

    that looks sensational Jmeek,
    how did you get the Gibson logos on the headstock and the colours and sunbursting looks incredible.

    keen to hear what sort of finish you used and what colours they were

    cheers Wokka

    Maybe Pest he has used wudtone, but that sunbursting is probably the best I've seen out of any Pitbull build

    yea, the first glance at it made it look a bit like nitro (Uh oh, I'm dead!), but he might!

    And yes, that burst is the best ive seen out of these babies EVER!!!! He might have the bridge facing the wrong way, check the saddles, they tell you, cause mine faces the pups

    I think the bridge saddle is the correct way Pest. If it was reversed you probably can't access the adjusting screws as the humbucker will be in the way
    I've put the bridge that way with my LP's

    Works either way.... Sometimes I put em the screw side to the Bucker, other times towards the bridge. Just depends on my mood and the quality of the grooves in the saddles.

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
