do something about this binding that's coming off and i need a decent amount of cleanup yeah that sparkles in the light though i'm kind of confused about these inlays i would say that they're proper mother of pearl like they don't have the swirls you'd find in pearloid but they're also not colorful at all so are they just like clouded mirrors and again this was a very inexpensive made in japan model so you see the binding isn't that ornate i don't know if you'll be able to see this on camera there is a carved shape to the top but it's very very shallow like it's a very subtle carve there's also like a layer of space in between the body and the top super weird no idea what that's about that's pretty funny the control cavity is tiny compared to a normal les paul to the point where midi pots look normal sized in it obviously all that's going to have to go but the routing is pretty decent but yeah i mean it feels pretty solid honestly got a couple of weird vintage budget guitar quirks but overall not bad someone obviously loved playing this thing which is a very very good sign once we get the frets sorted and get this all cleaned up throw some emgs i mean this is gonna be a sick hetfield tribute guitar so that is my newest vintage les paul again i've got a lot of projects going on right now so don't expect this to be anytime soon we've got a NUMBER_TOKEN melody maker we've got a NUMBER_TOKEN the paul get filled with no experience squire mini jazz master so this is now at the end of a very long project queue but stick around uh subscribe so you don't miss it i promise you it'll be worth the wait one last little look at this vintage les paul custom and uh let's go see what else we got so you might be wondering hunter how do you afford all these projects for content well it's because i use my credit card a lot where do i keep my credit card though and how do i buy some miracle managed to pay it off every month well that's where today's sponsor ridge wallet comes in they've been a long time supporting the channel and if you didn't know they're redefining the wallet traditional bulky wallets suck they collect all this useless crap old receipts unused loyalty cards meanwhile ridge wallets have super compact durable frames with plates made of aluminum titanium or carbon fiber that can fit right into your front pocket they've recently designed a topographic collection inspired by iconic natural locations with topography from the area's laser engraved into the aluminum i have a huge affinity for the nearest design just visited zion national park earlier this year cannot recommend it enough the park as well as the wallet i mean but they've got a ton of other designs to fit your personality as well half dome and north shore from the same collection are really cool too i'm currently using the forged carbon the plates are rfid blocking to thwart would be scammers from stealing your card information trust me it sucks when that happens a few years ago someone used my card to buy five thousand dollars worth of silver spoons once so i love my sleek rich
