My completed Les paul build

Here's a custom built guitar my father has built for me.
Its built like a 1959 les paul, followed the same plans, but a few things are a little different.

Maple flame top and flame bottom
Mahogany
Custom inlay, pearl.
no control panels on the back.

Took about 8 months to build.
But i love this guitar!

What paint colors did you use...can you tell me the specific colors?

[xtrustmeimaliar]

@jandhaysk8 The outside is just Cherry Red, and the middle is a mix of cherry red and Lemon Yellow.

@xtrustmeimaliar Okay thanks(: and the back is the same pretty much?

[xtrustmeimaliar]

Fuck this looks as good as a Gibson ^^ You should be proud of yourself :))) How long did it take you to build it and is it your first handmade guitar?

[xtrustmeimaliar]

@markojev Thanks! I am very proud of it, Sometimes I'll get carried away and brag about it too, but yea, really proud of it., It took around 8 to 10 months to build, of and on that is. And yes it is my first hand built guitar, but my father builds guitars all the time and I had his guidance throughout it all.
