Does Warmoth (or other leading guitar kit manufacturer) make LP guitar models?

[Diminished Triad]

I've seen some reference to Warmoth LP guitars here at the SD site but when looking through the Warmoth site can't find it in the list of guitar bodies available for custom design, etc.
Thanks for any info you share! Would enjoy being able to design a Les Paul!

Warmoth recently had to stop making Gibson shaped bodies.

Musikraft make LP-style guitars but they are on the expensive side.

Yep. Orpheo has more HHH Warmoth LP's than there actually are HHH Warmoth LP's in existence.

The Warmoth LPs were bolt on neck and 25 1/2" scale. Not saying thats bad or good but it did make them unique among that style of guitar.

I can't help but feel you don't get the whole tone of the LP when you change both the scale length and neck attachment method. Horses for courses.

Agreed. Can't imagine why Gibson would have a problem with Warmoth making bolt-on, long-scale versions of their guitars. Paranoia? Maybe if Jusky took a steeper pay cut and passed those $aving$ down the pipe to the consumer (or use it to pay the people who actually make the production models more), they'd sell more guitars, and thus would not have to worry about Warmoth, of all places.

Wow, the PVX doesn't even need a gluing jig?!

 

[AlexR]

Re: Does Warmoth (or other leading guitar kit manufacturer) make LP guitar models?

Nope, glue the surfaces and just push the neck in.
