  1. There’s a bond between you and this beautiful old LP Jr – almost as special as your favourite Stratocaster.
    Sympathetically breathing new life into this old guitar will reward you tenfold Matthew – and you’ve done a great job with restoration… retaining the history and ‘personality’ of the guitar.
    Sincere congratulations… there’s no greater feeling than bringing something deemed to be a ‘write-off’ back to life.
    Enjoy it and play it like crazy…😊

  2. Man that tone ' …what a great job Matthew …one of the coolest guitars I've seen …and again, that tone ' Just a thought – before taking the pot apart, is it possible to, very carefully drill and tap into the remainder of the post and add a small extension? or solder?

  3. You amaze ne,as always, with your playing, as well as your repair skills. You may want to try to get ahold of Austin at Trogly guitar show. He has some original holly wood veneers for Gibson Les Pauls. It may well behoove you to contract him. He may be able to help you on your journey. I Love what you do, brother. Peace 🕊️.

  4. Nice job. Looking forward to more work on it. My father was an engineer and master cabinet maker and I recognize everything you were doing ✅. I spent my whole life watching my dad make and fix everything so I know when it’s done right. 👍☮️🌞🎸🎵🩵

  5. Matthew! As you started to disassemble the guitar, I was so happy to hear the timbre of the old mahogany pieces. As you pulled the neck it creaked it’s way out of the neck pocket, and just placing it on your bench top, you captured some truly rare sounds. You did beautiful work at every step of the way! Thank you for sharing this amazing time in your life. BTW Break a leg at the upcoming show(s) ! ! !

  6. Those joints wont last. You put glue on top of some cracks in a dried out body. The wood wicked most of the glue away from the joint. The crack should have been shimmed open and glue applied with a needle tipped injector. Water thin CA glue for the cracks then set the neck with Titebond, or preferably hide glue so you can sweat the neck off easier in the future.
