Thanks Michael for the changes. Looks great. I really would like to have a LP with a wraparound. The three piece top should look interesting. | |

If you have seen old refin 54's they had three piece tops. That's the way they did it back then, because they were goldtopped. I have the original bookmatched wood for the CS1959 that was warped that wasn't used, and the sister piece of the wood on the CS1959. I will take the bookmatch of the first pieces for the outsides seeing that they weren't thick enough for the middle of the CS1959 and then one of the sister pieces for the middle. The other half of the sister piece can go to anyone who wants a great looking top for a PRS or Tele. I will take a breath now!!!

I am rounding up the parts Michael. I am definitely going to get Dave's inlays again. I think I will get Jason Lollar P 90's. I will order Pigtail music wraparound tail piece. Plastic parts humb, not Lazyparts. | |

On P-90s, make your decision carefully. Whilst the Lollars are supposed to be really good, consider that they are constructed in a totally different manner to 'regular p-90s'. So if you are after full blown vintage p-90 tone, you may have to look elsewhere. I honestly can't see any reason why anyone would not order a set from Wolfe. I think he is absolutely at the top of his game, plus he is alot cheaper than many others... | |

Jason is actually a friend of mine, he has fixed and wound about 6 sets of pickups for me. His strat pickups are unbelievable. I will look into Wolfes. Thanks for the suggestion Jon. All types I will consider. | |

I don't want you to think I was being negative about Lollar. Him and Wolfe are good friends and any friend of Wolfe's is a friend of mine. | |

Thank you Michael I was just trying to get that picture over to this post. Big piece of wood next to those three piece master craft necks. Should be interesting to see the old piece of maple with it's figuring on the outside.

This is a 54 conversion a gentleman is selling on Ebay and has a three piece top. I like it but would want it a darker burst. But is cool.

Yeah all the control cavities are through the Mahogony. In some cases the control cavity is carved out after the maple top is put on. The earlier Les Pauls were done this way. If you go on the LPF and look on some post you will see some examples. It's a really good learning experience on the LPF.

the netherlands is like an extremely small country, around 234523 times smaller than texas |
|

and it only has 16 million citizens, so according to american standards, the country side is very close to the city part. | Àâòîð |

ah, thnx lennart, i forgot that americans have another definition of 'liberal'. and indeed, the netherlands is SO small, there is almost no difference in countryside or sity. for example. NYC is almost the same size as our country, with almost the same amount of inhabitants. |

I feel like I just had a Geography-Goverment class. Shamray Website not only great for hooking us up with guitars but learning different countries backgrounds. I think it's great that you have an opinion on what you think your country should be doing. I don't mind learning from others at all. It amazes me that even though we have the Atlantic Ocean and a vast amount of land between us but we still have very similar issues with Government-Political agenda's. | |

well, the issues are still the same, but the way each governement deals with that is different. and steven, yeah, i agree with you, this place is very good for getting to know other people who play guitar, and who are most of the time foreigners for you (btw: i dont know if anyone thinks the word "foreigner" has a negative charge to it. if so, I'm sorry, cause here, our translation of foreigner is considered very offensive...thats why :-P ) |

Foreigner is a Band as far as I'm concerned. We have the same red Blood. And by the Way Lennart, both sets of my Grand Parents were from Denmark. I don't even preach that I know American government that well, so if you want to think that way no big Deal. I am a professional trainer, I train Highschool, College, and pro athletes to get ready for their upcoming seasons. I don't even have time to read the paper sometimes. By the way LPF stands for Les Paul Forum here Aheight. | |
