• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

That was a standard that neck was being fit on. Where is the rocker tenon that I hear so much about? It looked like a nice square tenon to me.

The long tenon is done in the Custom Shop not Gibson USA where the video was shot.

Look at 6:03, could that be the chambers they're putting in the lp's now? The cutout looks like a 335 or possibly a 339 but then they place a lp back on it.

I was amazed at the thickness of the maple board they slabbed on the front. I know they carve them after but it sure looked substantial. I really liked the one on the making of the Clapton 335. What blew me away was how they do the binding.
