    Thanks for sharing, I'm about to begin a LP build but with some different approaches. I was surprised with the binding in the lower cutaway that you didn't reduce the wood height there manually with a carve so the maple didn't show under the binding. I'm very impressed with your use of your own created jigs and techniques. Very clever thinking throughout this whole video!

      You're absolutely right about that. This applies only to the guitars made between 1952 through 1960. ( source reference: book " The beauty of the burst") with this build guitar, I kept the dimensions of Les Paul's 1959. The donut ring you see in the video provides the lift up
