Speaking of LP Deluxes ... project update


Recommended Posts

You guys may remember a pretty extensive '76 Les Paul Deluxe restoration project I took on well over a year ago. To recap, it came to me as a very abused body (that had been hollowed out - not chambered but hollowed out by a previous owner), an old neck blank from the Kalamazoo factory, and a cardboard box with more parts missing than there. After I took on a mile-long list of structural stuff that took months to tick off, and our good friend Shannon at HEL took on icing the cake and the spray gun tasks, the project finally wrapped this weekend. Here you go ... enjoy!

                                                 WOW! That is some great work! Beautiful!.................looking at it now you would never guess how bad it was to begin with..................which is telling about what a fine job you have done. What are the pickups?

Pickups are Dimarzio DLX Plus units. I cannot emphasize just how good these pickups are for a full-blown humbucker replacement within a mini/P-90 footprint.
