Image of the (attached) set neck Les Paul body I ordered to build myself green guitar.

Image showing access from the back of the guitar, showing that I used Gibson pots for the volume and tone controls. I also installed a Switchcraft toggle as the selector switch.

Image of my workbench and the Les Paul guitar I built.

Image of the finished guitar which also included a nice set of Seymore Duncan humbucker pickups and Grover tuners.

I built this Les Paul guitar back in early 2017 using quality parts. I didn't want to spend big bucks to own one, so I built it. Not a luthier because I order and assemble, but there is still a good amount of work that goes into something like this. #lespaul #customguitar #ibuiltthis #myguitars

Image of my process of changing this Les Paul Junior over to a Les Paul Telecaster. Routed out for the neck pickup and for a toggle switch.

This Epiphone Les Paul Junior had a one piece bridge and tail-piece combined. I would drill to make it more like a Les Paul with separate tail piece and bridge.

This Junior became a Telecaster in disguise and turned out to be a decent guitar.

This guitar that I had purchased new for my son who thought he'd learn, but then gave it back to me, became a challenge for me to make something different that I'd like. And here it is... A Les-Tele.

A Les Paul Telecaster? Modified this Epiphone Jr into something different. It's unique in its own way to all my other guitars... even my Telecaster. Inexpensive guitar that's a decent instrument. Read more in alt-text. #myguitars #custom #chopshop #different #hybrid #guitar #lespaul #telecaster

With my custom purple Telecaster style guitar with a B2 style tail-piece and roller bridge, posed with model, Liz Ashley.

Just thought I'd share pics of a few of the guitars I've built... yeah, and they're posed with models I photographed! I really enjoy what I do. #models #guitars #myguitars #myphotography #custom #homestudio #fendarjaguar #lespaul #telecaster #girlsandguitars #pentax #rockon

Body and neck prep on the ES335 kit guitar. The back of the guitar body is same stain color as the headstock, sides are natural. Neck was glued in.

ES335 guitar kit starting to look like a guitar. Still needed to make all the component connections.

When I looked at the prices on fret leveling sanding blocks, I decided I could make my own. Made two of them with three different sand paper grits, and was still cheaper than buying one.

The finished result, and I'm very please with how it turned out. Sounds great, plays nice. Now I need to find a model...

Most recent guitar build, haven't even posed it with a model yet. Purchased a set neck ES335 but upgraded all components... Grover tuners, roller bridge, pickups and pots too. Used wood dye for color. She turned out nice! #ES335 #customguitar #hallowbody #guitarkit #ibuiltthis #myguitars
