Glen's Les Paul.......

marked out for pick-ups, drilled out & the hole for the pick-up selector switch drilled.



the void behind the pick-up selector switch drilled, and recessed for the cover.



HOPEFULLY we'll be able to drill between the cavities so we won't need to put on a huge back cover.....but if we need to, we need to.....

cutaway jumbo pretty much done.....

a hole to drill for the strap jack and a strap button on the heel, but other than that, we're there.

summing up,

Madagasgar rosewood Back, sides & rosette.
Bearclaw spruce top.
Ebony fretboard & bridge
mahogany & cherry 5 piech neck
bone nut, saddle & pins.

Glen's Les Paul continues.....

after staining the fretboard he used the pillar drill to press in the frets....

Ok, what's what?

the cutaway Jumbo is pretty much done. I've cut the saddle to sort intonation but I still need to deepen a couple of slots in the nut by a hair and drill a hole for the strap Jack. HOPEFULLY it'll be in the post to the US within the week. LOTS of pics to follow!!

Cherry OM....

bridge made & strings on

a few days to settle then I'll sort the intonation and finish the fretwork and fit the pick-up.....



the pay it forward guitar has the binding on.....



and I've carved the neck.....



the neck looks ok in position......



and the soundholes and the hole for the preamp are cut.
