Handcrafting a Les Paul style guitar. Using my tool set, and from researching similar projects that people have posted about on the internet, this is my attempt at building my first guitar.

1st Electric Guitar

Hi all,
I started making an acoustic guitar last year, but got into the electric mode recently.
Since I can't afford a real one, I wanted to try and build a Les Paul copy. 

I've got a rosewood fretboard blank, and a mahogany neck blank from the acoustic guitar kit that I will use for this project, since the acoustic is put on hold.

I'd like to finish the acoustic kit, but since I'm playing more electric now, and the only time I can get any serious guitar practice time is late at night, the electric works much better for being quieter in the house, and I can turn it up in the headphones through my PodXT.



Here is a pic taken from the internet of a very nice plainish maple top Les Paul.
