Thread: First Build LP 1M

    First Build LP 1M

    Hi all,

    I am starting my first guitar build. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I am a wood worker, so I am confident, just don't want to screw it up.
    I am looking for advice on finishes. I would like to do an emerald to forest green cover. Any thoughts on products?

    I will be using a bunch of burle for accents on this guitar, including a veneer on the mahogany headstock, and I intend to replace much of the plastic with burle as well (pick guard, pickup rings, etc...).
