Nah - fantastic end result! Nice work on the neck angle, any space left under the bridge? Love that finish, might have to try and copy your work sometime!

Real nice Grant !
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Re: 1959 Les Paul Junior Build
But it's not a real Gibson. I bet the finish never falls off that headstock.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Yeah, I suspect for anyone able to produce 'craftsman-like' things there's so much more to it than the finished item.

It is a Nuzibson... way better than Chibson
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Re: 1959 Les Paul Junior Build
The Workmanship here is absolutely phenomenal Grant. The finish is such high quality, it's mind blowing.
Been after a Lp Jnr for a while and been thinking about doing a build. No where near as technical as this... et hem... bolt on neck. But this is really inspiring to see.
Congrats!
