Re: Les Paul Junior Build
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.

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