This LP (Gibson Les Paul) style guitar has:
1/2" Maple Top | Spalted Maple Veneer
Mahogany body
Mahogany neck
Rosewood fretboard
12 inch radius neck
24.75 Scale length
21 Frets
Materials used:
Minwax Mission Oak stain for the body: https://amzn.to/36d3w2U
Varathane Early American stain for the back, sides and neck: https://amzn.to/3ca5vZA
It's surprisingly easy to assemble and finish, i also added some extra parts including white pickup rings, white poker chip switch ring, and Epiphone humbucker pickups.
This was a lot of fun to build, if you're looking to try it then go for it, you get a custom guitar for very little money.
Cheers!
