Les Paul Bass Project II





The headstock changes are at least as drastic as the body changes in the previous post. Again, it looks like a new guitar, and the ugly, unprofessional headstock repair was redone very nicely. You can hardly see the "scar" now. Cleaning up the rear of the headstock even revealed the serial number, which was previously illegible.

Les Paul Bass Project I





This instrument, described in an earlier post, was a cosmetic "basket case", but structurally sound, when I took on the project. This post shows the dramatic difference in the body "before" and "after". It looks like a different guitar. I hope to post other "before" and "after" projects soon. The next post shows the headstock changes.
