@@Clayton-t5i I have 4 Les Pauls too! I always wondered why - they're just great guitars. I have Dimarzio's in two of them. Fralin Pure PAF in another, and Pearly Gates in my Goldtop.
sorry about that, I shouldn't have posted it, I should have watched it first, ,I'm old and take something for pain at night due to health issues. I'll pay closer attention next time
Yes, I have it on craigslist. It's a lot of steps, taking the guitar apart for starters, I do the fret ends with a diamond fret end file, I take all the excess off the nut to look like a custom shop nut, I remove everything from the headstock including the bushings that the tuners go through, that in itself is a scary, very careful process, I remove all the parts on the top, including the pickups, hand rub top, back and sides with Novus 2 (it's brutal physical work to get the VOS look). I have to hand make a perfect little piece of wood to go into the truss rod opening, glue that in with tightbond glue, let the guitar set overnight, next day I sand that area I put the wood piece in, then I take 600 paper and sand the whole headstock face, put black wood putty into the screw holes and across the piece of wood I put in. 6-8 hours later I sand all of that face again to get a perfect smooth surface. I make sure a truss rod tool will work on the truss adjustment(I added about 1/4-5/16 of an inch in that space for the Gibson truss rod cover screw, then I do the Gibson logo, several coats of one shellac type, and the next day several coats of urethane type , waiting for each coat to dry and then sanding that before the next coat, this whole thing is a 3 day process and a rediculous amount of work. But I'm retired , so it gives me something to do
@@FezzantPlucka The new Epiphones have the Gibson headstock shape with no wings. A german luthier makes thin head stock overlays with the Gibson logo on ebay.
