Les Paul Junior Build

[asgilbert]

Hi all, My recently finished Les Paul Junior with P90's by Mick Brierley. Body and neck are Mahogany. Mahodany blank for the body kindly given to me by a mate in Albany. The fret board and headplate are Ebony. Schaller gear all over.

Beautiful job. Love the guitar especially the block, neck inlay.
Any secrets on your method of inlaying/
Thanks for posting.

Thanks Alan, Just the usual mark out with sharp knife, rub over with chalk to get the line to show up well. Then use a 1mm bit in a Dremel to get as close as possible to the line and finish off with a sharp chisel. I have a 14' rad on the FB so it is not too bad but next time I will use a thicker MOP so it looks less translucent on the sides. Most of it is ok... just a few have that translucent look where the radius of the FB means you remove material at the ends of the inserts.

Loverly build, and some nice Mahogany. Mick's pickups are great have a few sets myself.

Hi, that’s a guitar I really like, and yours looks great. I supported my grandson to build one some years ago.
