Gday Folks

Here is a few shots of the latest build

It has a 1 piece 22 fret mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard, full binding and block inlays.

Planning to put vintage output humbuckers, Bigsby tremolo, grover tuners, and roller bridge.

make sure to let me know what you think and like my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/GoblinGuitars?ref=hl

Sorry I apoligize for my Mistake, I have fixed the link and here it is again https://www.facebook.com/GoblinGuitars?ref=hl

I am yet to cut pickup holes to mount the pickups on standard Les Paul mounting rings

Is the neck bolted on or is it a set neck?

Re: Metal Bodied Les Paul

Have just cut the holes and mounted the pickups now so I will throw up some images soon

Re: Metal Bodied Les Paul

No it is a good weight as it is hollow, it is comparable to your standard Gibson I will weigh it when finished.

Why do so many cool guitars have to be ruined by a Bigsby? I dig the heck out of the rest of that though.
