Gil Yaron Les Paul build.
I gather this thread is well known but it's new to me. If you want to follow a guy building a replica of an early Les Paul in obsessive detail, here y' go.

Spoiler above. Maybe start on page one.

Re: Gil Yaron Les Paul build.
I wonder how he finds the materials. I'd be walking up and down the isles at Bunnings going:
"Hmmm, number 3 half-threaded screws..."
"Incredibly specific ground wire..."
"Glue but not that glue or that glue..."
Maybe I'm expecting too much of a DIY superstore.

Re: Gil Yaron Les Paul build.
This is a totally wanking thing to say - but if I was going to spend all of that time and effort to build that guitar - I would of chosen a better top. the top is a bit 'Meh' to me

Re: Gil Yaron Les Paul build.
Imagine if he could build you the LP of your dreams. You pick the top, like the Ace Frehley 59. Nice light mahogany - 8 pound weight built. Zebra humbuckers. He has all the templates and equipment. Better still, imagine being able to help build it under his supervision. Would he give you a discount? Would he let you take his automatic weapon down on the beach for tomfoolery? What a holiday that would be.
In life, don't sweat the petty stuff, and don't pet the sweaty stuff.

The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.
