OK. Have to make the switch. This glue is getting old anyway. Now if I could convince the lawn not to grow with all this rain I could spend more time building.

On the Titebond, I bought what HD had at the moment. It works.
The Les Paul was an early attempt. It has some problems I may address later on. It was a learning thang!

Resaw the back to rout cavity and chambers. http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh201/downandoutman/Guitars%20and%20Basses/Backslicedforroutingchambers_zps03b191af.jpg Power tools and wood: http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh201/downandoutman/Guitars%20and%20Basses/PowerToolsandWood_zpsbe6357fd.jpg...

And we're off on the next builds. 3 of them. Busted ass and got 3 bodies started from rough cut mahogany, all cut, thickness sanded and joined, rough shaped on the bandsaw, and the backs resawn to rout cavities. I had bought this wood with neck thru basses and guitars in mind, but due to prompting f...

I've always loved SG's. Great build.

Thank you all. My next builds will be for two of my grandkids who are taking guitar lessons and my youngest daughter here at home. Gonna keep them simple.

Electronics. Love those lil magnets. http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh201/downandoutman/Guitars%20and%20Basses/28_zpsd520ce4b.jpg http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh201/downandoutman/Guitars%20and%20Basses/26_zpsa163ad91.jpg http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh201/downandoutman/Guitars%20and%...

It's Alive! Plays pretty good. Built neck closer to Les Paul specs so it's a bit to get used to. I'm a bass player at heart anyway. http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh201/downandoutman/Guitars%20and%20Basses/20_zps2129b10e.jpg http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh201/downandoutman/Guitars%20and%20...

Switched gears on the finish. The Ace Tung oil wasn't working out too well. Wouldn't apply smooth with bumps all over it. Sanded it back a bit w/ 200 and 400 grits and will finish it out with Tru Oil. Going on a lot smoother.

Applying oil finish. The flame is looking awesome. Applying a coat every night as I'm working 7 - 12's in a row, so it all works out. http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh201/downandoutman/Guitars%20and%20Basses/6_zpse2ccc29d.jpg http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh201/downandoutman/Guitars%20and%2...

Thanks, Ben.
There's no neck angle on it. Perfectly straight, and yep I had to countersink the bridge. Only reason I used a tune-o-matic was I wanted to
use the V tailpiece, which I had bought a while back. Can't wait to finish it. And rock on!

Been a busy boy, especially since it's been raining constantly down here in the south. Got my Flying V close to the finish line. It's quite similar in construction to the bass I built recently. I installed the hardware so I could string it up and see if it was good to go before I start applying tung...
