Wow! Great attention to detail! It’s coming along great!
Why are you using Gibson's name on a clone?
The guy I’m building it for wants it to be pretty authentic. I will sign inside the pickup routes though.
I would not worry about the nibs the extra fret width makes you r guitar extraordinary to play
Amazing work. The whole fret nib concept is mind boggling to me. I get that Gibson installs the fret wire in the fingerboards BEFORE the boards are glued to the neck. And that the binding goes on after that. But I can’t imagine why the early 1950s Gibson designers chose to fabricate their necks in that order. Did they feel the fret nibs looked fancier than a bound neck with no nibs? Or were the nibs a byproduct of their fabrication sequence? Regardless, you’ve done an amazing job on this neck; really masterful stuff. Can’t wait to see your next installment. Keep up the great job.
I'd go with very damn good.
Everything is coming together great. Yours skill level is sure growing fast.
Beautiful job vin!
Man.. i´ve waited several days for this episode, since this is your first LP build I think you are doing a da*n good job, a little bit of tension on the trussrod when sanding the fretboard is a great thing, also the binding is spot on, well the whole build so far is spot on. But, there is a couple of things I want to point out, the trussrod should have been placed a little further back in the neck so you get something similar to what Gibson would have done, very little visible threads would be ideal, also I always make sure to over-radius the frets a little bit, you did not do that and I can see on the fretboard when the frets are installed that you didn't. But dont take my words to serious, you are doing a super great job and this will turn out great. I already have a wish that you build another Gibson Les Paul replica, maybe a Custom ? I know you can do it, thanks... :D
Thanks Man! You’re right and I didn’t realize until about the point of this video that I installed the truss rod not quite deep enough. I did end up going and chopping off about three eights of an inch of the thread for aesthetics. You’ll see by the end of the series that the threads will be a little shorter. I didn’t show it or film it. But next time I will be more aware, these are the types of things that happen that you don’t realize unless you build a few of these it’s a learning process. I’m sure you went through the same thing I appreciate your comments. Any other suggestions would be welcome …cheers !
@@vindustrialguitars Yeah it takes at least one build to be aware of what misstakes you've made and they will not be present on the neck build. We all make misstakes and most of them can be fixed. I am about to build a new neck for my 1989 Gibson Les Paul Standard Heritage, its been on a couple of world tours and are beaten up, the headstock have been broken and fixed several time, the last headstock-break was to much for the previous owner so he decided to sell the guitar to me. Can not find a time-correct headstock veneer though, the original is all messed up so maybe I will have to get a modern Gibson logo cut out, but its not right for the time 1989..
Looks like a tough job, but you do beautiful work. I can’t wait to see the finished Les Paul.
Nice man...👍
Beautiful work.
Dude your editing style is so funny I love it. It perfectly encapsulates the stress of this work
Glad you enjoy it! Cheers!
Nice work. The new bridge sounds better, beefier, and more bass (in a good way). The trebles ring more and the guitar sounds better.
I am so glad I found your channel! I have been watching all your videos and I really enjoy watching you work. I’m a guitar player, I LOVE guitars, and while I am not a repair person, or a builder, watching you is pure entertainment for me. You do great work, and I wish you were on the east coast so I could bring you my guitars for repair. Wonderful stuff. The Les Paul (59) is especially cool, you are an artist. Oh, more dog shots please :)
Awesome! Thank you!
How many rosewood fretboards do you have? One Brazilian? I don’t think I can even count that high. Just kidding, of course. Great tricks you have to accomplish precision.
It’s rare to see someone put so much time and effort into a guitar that you might be able to sell to a drunk man for $100. But these old Harmony/Stella/Silvertone guitars are great little blues boxes. The sound is surprisingly good because they used solid woods throughout. Nice job!!
I do my fret slots similar to you. I don't own a router. The binging channel is the hardest part to do by hand. Binding cutters contraptions always seem like a disaster waiting to happen to me. But yours looks simple an easy. What is it?
Having woodworking skills is such a bonus when you'te building your first guitar.
It's coming along quite well. Very impressive Vinny.
Being a retired mechanic I wanted to clamp fretboard from middle out like a cyl. head....🤣👍
Holy shit.. this is a great video-series, I started buying things 1-2 years ago to build a replica of a Gibson Les Paul, all the correct things like trussrod and veneer and all that, even the proper trussrod access-cutter. I think I am all set to go, well, I need the wood first, but I have the maple top that I bought 2 years ago already carved, I clamped it up right away so it will not warp or anything like that so I just have to unclamp it and its good to use. After watching your video I am tempted to order the wood and get my build started, thanks :D
Wonderful work to a beautiful guitar! You are an inspiration!!
Do you have enough neck angle? In the video it looks pretty flat. Asking (hopefully) before you move on to glueing.
I set the neck at 4 degrees, that should be enough. I measure against the drawing and it seems right. I guess time will tell. Stay tuned! Thanks for the comment 👍
@@vindustrialguitars at the '59 model, the correct angle is 4.4 degrees
Use blue paper
I hope I get to see you though this build
Very cool! I‘ll be following along since I am considering building a Les Paul as well.
Get ready man it’s a ton of work… thanks for the comment bud!
That was not relief, that was backbow if the camera was shooting the truss rod adjust end of the neck Maybe I should elaborate; at this stage of the build, you should set the neck to be straight without string tension. Now, if you're going to use very heavy strings like 12's, you may want just a hair of backbow until the guitar is done and then adjust. I know that you wanted to be period correct with that rod. I probably would've put a bi-flex rod or maybe two strips of carbon fiber rod. Nobody is every going to see anyway. An expert would know the guitar was just built. If it's just for your own use, you could've dropped in a few carbon rods either side of the old style truss going up into the headstock for future drop protection. Nice build
Yeah, you’re right, I miss spoke. This week I am going to be mounting the fretboard with a bit of back bow to pre-load it. Thanks for the comment 😊
Nice to see how you do the job, I'm building my third LP at this moment. Also i use the Bartlett drawing plan.
I’ll check out the Bartlett. I don’t know what the difference is I’ll take a look…Thanks for the comment.
Very impressive work. My first good guitar was a 1974 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe.
build her, bathe her, and brinng her to meee! 🎵r0ck 0n 🎵
I Love that you took some extra steps to ensure perfect fit. So satisfying to watch.
That perfect fit was very impressive. Great work so far, Vinnie.
My old Levin ladder braced guitars does not sound like that, where there way to many and way to thick braces in that guitar? this how one of my old Levin sounds czcams.com/video/CHzMAS1U538/video.htmlsi=inYtJSa0pGo0kkps
i'm in a front row bleacher watchin this build , all the best on turnin out a toneful slab of wood that's waitin for a pair of hands to bring it to life, oh yeah... 🎵r0ck0n 🎵
I have an 73 harmony maple, top bulge up I put a quad A top with scalloped X bracing. What a cannon, just put a piece of walnut in the back like D35 to calm it down was alittle to brite also put rosewood binding around. It has a super high quality voice, it is different than my high end Martin's but i love it for certian songs and you can sure hear it playing in a group, i love it.
I'm so surprised to see this 59 Les Paul build. This is going to be the project where your channel takes off.
Now I have to sub. Great job so far!
Awesome! Thank you!
Looking forward to seeing the rest of it.
Epic, Vinnie.
What? You can't stop now!!!! Nice work brother. Thanks for the vid. Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
Why the heck would anyone glue down a saddle? Great job man.
Great improvement and a very instructive comparison. Thanks for Bert’s, ‘One for Jo’👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Cool project to tackle!! Good luck!😎
Thanks 👍
When I was a kid, a Harmony guitar was considered a disposable junk guitar. I am 85 so that was a while back.
This is great.,love your work so now I'm on pins and needles for the next one.....👍
Yay, thank you!
Holy cow, what a massive project! Very excited to watch your progress. You mentioned that you are building this for a customer. All things considered, I think I would have a really hard time letting go of something like this. Hope you’re being well paid 🤓👍
First one not so much. 🪙 Next time for sure 💵
Oh my. I want one. So freaking cool. Awesome love you gave this old girl.
I have won a bid on the same bass as this one and came to mind to install a JLD Bridge Doctor to the bass does that can hold heavy gauges?
I kept it on the lighter side
Great work, but please lose the loud club-music in the background. Takes you right out of it.
I didn't have this much anxiety and anticipation when my wife was having a baby, phew. Thank God that's over 😜, well done. Thank you for this great tutorial video, it's clarified some points for me, cheers.
Haha thanks!
