major reconstructive surgery on a Les Paul


Recommended Posts

got asked if I could modify a Les Paul with a broken headstock.

I do enjoy a challenge every once in a while.

this one showed up with the previous "repair" not being very stable (to say it nicely)

anyways, the owner wanted it to be transformed into a  Bonabyrd.

had to basically start from scratch and build a few quick jigs but turned out pretty nice in the end.

have a great weekend everyone, cheers

Like pairing a poodle with a German Shepherd. Looks plain weird in a funky way. Cool work. I want it. Love threads like this.

thanks everyone for the positive replies.

Kizanski,     thanks to the big fat body not neck heavy at all

BoogieMKIIA,     blend at neck to body was done to help with accessibility to the higher frets which I have always shied away from doing, but is a quick,simple operation and definitely helps.  recommended mod to a LP you'l never sell😛 or is a beater  anyways

happy Sunday

Nice!!!! That's a good look. Kinda reminds me of a certain other brand that made a custom with an explorer headstock and 3 singles.

I wonder why everyone makes fun of Heritage.
