Wow! that jig is by far the best I've seen.

I think I'm going to buy a premade neck, with fret markers and all, then attach that to my Les Paul body.

How do you do it without a jig? Photos appreciated if you can.

Thanks for your help,

Is there a site where I can buy premade necks for the Les Paul in case this one doesn't work out? I've checked a few options but some more help would be appreciated.

One of my good friends is an experienced woodworker, and he is willing to help me out. He also suggested buying a kit fo...

Here are my plans from the Interwebs and my rough template.

Hi there! I am about to start building my first electric guitar. I think I'm going to build a Les Paul standard, with a mahogany body and maple top. I'm still in the planning stage, and I have got some blueprints and plans from online. (I'm struggling to add images to the forum, will try some more l...
