• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

Some weeks ago, I had an original order, not a classical Les Paul but a glitter Les Paul owned by Richie Scarlet.
There is a lot of fun details on this guitar, the headstock, the inlay on the fretboard, the Babicz bridge and the color.

Nice work. Do you whittle the guitars into shape? Are the metal pieces real metal or wood that looks like metal? How long does it take to make one? Thanks.

I sculpt a master-piece of the body and the neck, I make a mold and then I cast it into resin. The fretboard is made of wood and plastic. About the metal part, some are in real steel, some are casting in resin then I apply a chrome finish. The strings are hand-twisted with electric wires.
I only work by request so it mostly takes 5 weeks to make one because it isn't my main job, just a hobby.
