brainkillsbeercells Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Haynie Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Look for Gibson to put out a special edition based on your design or redesign. That looks cool and the work is impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brainkillsbeercells Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbonesullivan Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
