  • Les Paul - Almost Done - Big Pictures!!!

    Here is an update - All painting has been done. I'm just waiting for the headstock to cure a little more before, wet sanding, polishing and the tuning keys go on. The electronics are in and sounds good with a tuning fork. I hope these pictures work - but it is big. I will relist as links if there are any bandwidth issues.

        Looks great - amazing from what you started with. Mind you, the tailpiece is on backwards [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
        Popular is not the same as good
        Rare is not the same as valuable
        Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get

                I was talking the pictures when it was a pile of pieces that you started with. Amazing.

                  Hey Don,

                  When I got it, it was already put together. I would have loved to have gotten it while it was still in separate "pieces".

                    Dude, that has gotta be some of the most amazing work I've ever seen. That is a complete turnaround, I'm freakin floored, really. All that was your work or an outside guy?

                      Thanx Irfaan,

                      I always wanted to do a refin right, so with the help of Reranch.com and lots of surfing, I think it came out okay. I wanted it nice, but not perfect, cause it's an older so some binding edges aren't perfect. Otherwise, I'm happy with it.

                              Hey ElChiguete - do you mean what did I pay for it or how much will I sell it for? Mike - if I ever sell it, you can have first dibs. It may cost a little more than I got it for, though...
