Building myself another Les Paul

[blazer]

And this time it'll be far more traditional than my previous one.

It has a meranti body with a plain maple top which as you can tell is rounded off much more than my previous selfbuilt Lester and I once again went with flat top construction. I'm planning for it to be in tobacco sunburst and fitted with P-90 pickups. The neck will be Maple with ebony fingerboard and I'm still debating on wether or not to put binding on the fingerboard edges.

So if all goes well it'll end up looking like this.


I'll keep you guys informed.

Looks good so far. P90's are the way to go.
