<\/a>Here’s my latest project, which I’ve FINALLY finished.\u00a0 I bought a trashed, beat up Gibson Les Paul, and did a complete refinish in it and the hard shell case it came in.\u00a0 It was pretty dinged up and dented when I got it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is when I got it.\u00a0 It was filthy, dented, \u00a0fretboard was dry as a bone, electrics in cavity did not work.\u00a0 Hard case was included but was broken and looked like it had been kept in the back of a pickup truck driven on dirt roads for a year or so.\u00a0 <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Mockup to get an idea of what it will look like\u2026\u00a0 Some clear laquer has been sprayed, but not all of it, and no polishing yet\u2026<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Les Pauls are made with a mahogany body, with a maple cap on top.\u00a0 that is the top\u00a03\/8 inch or so that is carved.\u00a0 What you see here, is the stained mahogany, the natural color of the edge of the maple top, and then the blue dyed top.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n
