waswell 3 Report post Posted October 21, 2017 Beautiful job. Looks like a Bonamassa now :) I own the same guitar and am tempted to perform this operation. How long did it take? Do you do the whole body or just the top? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ceptorman 34 Report post Posted October 22, 2017 The black accent pieces with the gold body look spectacular. Great job on the polishing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you do the whole body or just the top? It is a very easy and very fast job, you can make a test on the back of the body . 1 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Revolution Six 882 Report post Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) I like it with the body binding, the clear coats give to the binding a perfect finish. Edited April 8, 2018 by Revolution Six 1 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
01GT eibach 89 Report post Posted April 8, 2018 Any thoughts to giving it some "neck binding" too? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Revolution Six 882 Report post Posted April 8, 2018 The Les Paul Gold Top is perfect for me, now I have to polish for the last time and I will put a set of Custom pickup rings. I use Dimarzio HB rings, they have same height than Gibson Custom Shop M69 rings and price is very soft 1 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
