Building Mom a Les Paul Custom Replica

Glad she's enjoying it. Is the whole bridge brass? The one I installed is an alloy of 70% zinc & 30% aluminum, with brass saddles & thumbwheels. Steel posts. Cheers
 
It was good to see Mom so happy. She's really been through it of late.

I spent most of the night playing accompanying her on bass, giving Natalie a few lessons and playing around on my two Gibson's.

Funny thing is, the more I played my SG, the more I liked it...and the less comfortable I felt with the Les Pauls,
although I really do dig Les Paul tone.

Who knows....

Yes. I got it from Philadelphia Luthier Tools and package is marked gold plated brass. It was a closeout item....no brand name on it, but very nice plating!

Very cool! Congrats to you and your mom and your wonderful family.

As for the SG-LP debate - play them both!

LOL, yes!

I don't know why I am so finicky. I guess its all in hearing and sensing little things...

I really have to say I have begun to dislike the thick, dark coating on the back of the neck and the roughness of the wood they used...
