Quilted Maple LesPaul






Started this LesPaul over the Christmas holiday (I like to make at least one instrument each year during the Christmas break from my real job). Didn't quite get it finished during the holiday, but it's completed now. I'm quite satisfied with the results. The top is quilted maple, the back is mahogany, the neck is maple and the fingerboard and peg head is bloodwood. Abalone dots in the neck. I even made the pickup rings with bloodwood. I put a 'knob' on the back of the headstock like a banjo or old Martin.
