So I won an Amazon gift card and bought a guitar kit with it. The guitar kit is a clone of a Les Paul (based on the late 50’s model.

The kit comes with everything needed to build a guitar. The neck is nearly complete and only needs to have the headstock shaped. The body is complete. Only some final fitting, light sanding, finishing, assembly is required.

The body is mahogany (or something like it) with a tiger maple veneer on top.

I’m going to paint it a cherry red sunburst like the original one from 1958.

I’ve never done this before.
