Here's my 1959 Replica that I built a few years back...it's a total ground up build. Maple cap, Honduran mahogany body and neck.

The pickups are handwound with Alnico 2 magnets, the bridge at 8.5K and the neck 7.8K. Wired with vintage Sprague Bumblebee caps.

Drop dead tone.....

Hope you enjoy the pic

Really cool! Not a lot of us players can assemble a parts caster let alone build one. You jumped in the deep end and built an LP style guitar. Impressive, enjoy! Would be cool to see more pics or even a sample video 😎👍
