Description: Please read all the details below! - For the ultimate lightweight Les Paul! Spanish cedar is not a cedar, but rather a close relative to Honduran mahogany, but typically less dense. Many Les Paul builders use Spanish cedar bodies to make light weight Les Pauls. - It is a 3 piece top out of two different boards, so the color does vary. There is a bug hole on the back, but it does not come through the front. - This carved top is not a scan of exact copy of a real '59 Les Paul as other's often claim. It is however, well thought out to mimic the '59 style. What is a '59 style in my opinion? It is 2 things. One, that the back of the body "dish" is slightly narrower than the "dish" on the sides. I have added this to my carved top. The second and much harder thing to replicate is the body contour at the selector switch. They are all over the place if you look vintage Les Pauls. I have tried to model it to some relative accuracy, but you may have to do more sanding to further dish out the area at the selector switch such that your selector switch poker chip sits flat. Other specs I built in is a 4.4 degree neck angle, and the secondary sloped angle of the pick up plane. It has the slight "dish" to the outside perimeter around the outside of the wide part of the body. The center of the body has a nice round top, not an overly ugly flat top that some of the vintage Les Pauls had. - Machined in a spiral fashion with a very small step over with a bull nose end mill. In some trade off of cost vs. quality, machining speed and step over does cause some chattering of the end mill, but it will take very little sanding with an orbital sander to remove all the tool marks. I have routed about 1/4" outside the top template to make up for any small variations between different body shape templates that are on the market. - To keep costs low for the customer the tops will be shipped secured down to another piece of wood. They will be placed in a carboard box as is. They are plenty flexible to glue down to your body if they happen to get a slight twist.
