How can something as small as a guitar have so many bits and pieces? Here’s a list so far:
- Body wood (mahogany)
- Deck wood (hard maple)
- Neck blank (mahogany)
- Fret board (rosewood)
- Headstock veneer (holly)
- Frets
- Fret board inlay (mother of pearl)
- Binding (neck and body)
- Nut
- Tuning pegs
- Bridge
- Tail piece
- Pickups (two humbuckers)
- Pickup rings, plus screws
- Pick guard, plus mounting hardware
- Other electronics (tone and volume pots, knobs, tone capacitors, wiring, 3-way switch, jack)
- Jack cover plate
- Switch plate
This doesn’t even include things like stains, lacquer, and other finishing supplies. I thought a boat had a lot of parts, but there is a lot going on in a little package on this guitar. The good news is that decisions have been made and I have everything except the finishing supplies.

Sorry, Andy. I just saw this comment. There are a number of free and commercially available LP plans out there. Search “catto les paul plans” and you will get a bunch of links to topics.
