what sort of weight does it come in at with all that chambering ?

i did same truss rod on one i made, with a volute and no truss cut the headstock is so much stronger than a gibson

you use nitro or poly ?

looks lovely :)

@darkerthebetter,.. this guitar can weight 4 kg, but the mahogany is from honduras and it's more heavy of Sipo. the paint is poly, but it's made by my friend industry, at home i use nitro because is simply

Great looking and sounding guitar, but I can't see how you can access the truss rod adjuster without taking the neckpickup out, or am I missing something?

[BrutalBeast]

@chetscott , yes must taking the neck pickup out. i know that is uncomfortable but it's only for first time. i dislike see the hole or the trus-rod cover in the headplate

@9592558 LOL I was watching going "Maybe its like... a miniture or something... or he is HUGE"... then I realise I was not alone in thinking this xD

great looking guitar, and sounds great.. good work :D

[9592558]

Pretty nice. BTW you must be gigantic, the guitar looks little on you. LOL

[GuitarManSam555]

i would have put an "f" hole in it

[twsafarn]

Or the guitar is pretty small or you are pretty big... Freaking nice guitar!...

I am planing out a les paul build and it occurred to me that the neck is at an angle (unlike a strat). What angle is it at and is there a certain way to cut the neck to make the angle?
