Rabs Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 While I do still lust after some guitars... Seeing wood like this makes me want it more than I could have imagined... Hmmm, what I could do with that :) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EUROPEAN-MAPLE-WOOD-FOR-TWO-PIECE-LP-TYPE-GUITAR-TOP-AA-GRADE-470X195X21-/181596170312?_trksid=p2054897.l4275 Maybe if santa is nice to me and its still available I will get it...

I think I must be as excited as you, that's a nice bit of flame there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I must be as excited as you, that's a nice bit of flame there! Yes I am very excited too.... Right now im not quite sure exactly what im going to do.. I am going to have a good long think about that while I wait for it to turn up... I kinda like the edge finishing on my Hammer.. and with this sort of top I think I NEED to do some binding.. So I may do an Arrow shape as I want to add binding to that model which I think will really make it complete like the roundover edge ive been doing made the Hammer shape from ok to really nice. OR I could do a one off for myself and make a nice double cut standard (kinda like what AXE had made)... Or if I was feeling really brave try and make my own 59ish type LP..... see how close I can get.... Id really like to try a burst but need to practice that a bit first. So many options :) What ever I do, I will be treating it with the utmost respect :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Scales Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Should look cool with binding for sure! Painting a burst would be a daunting task but no doubt there would be lots of 'how to' videos available on the web... and you're certainly up for challenges! - good luck (as ever). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 It's your project but if you were to use your LPDC as a template and then make the body another inch or two larger all around I think that would make for one really nice guitar. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
