He just needs a bolt neck LP jr to complete the look.

Who said anything about a bolt on?

Yes, I am going to hell.

I'll see you there in the waterslide decal section.

But beware, the Gibson decal gives every Tom, Dick, and Harry the ammo for statements like, "Yup, nothing sounds like a Gibson."

I'll just act smug.

I'm thinking like this 58.

Hey Greg,

How big do you think that radius is on that old body?  Just wondering what size of bit to buy. 

Kinda looks a little small for 1/4"...
 
I was reading on the TDPRI forum that one of the vintage-replica guys uses a 3/16" roundover bit on his Telecasters - that looks like it's possibly the same.

Perhaps even 5/32"

Gentlemen,

The vintage LP guys seem to use everything from 3/16 to 1/8.  They are all in agreement that 3/8 is way too rounded. 

I'm gonna start with 1/8 and see how it looks.
 
Trevor let me check with my buddy who has a vintage one sitting in his shop. Give me a few days.
 
here is mine...IT is a precision kit too.  It most recently under went a mild relic...I based it on a 1960...but a bursted DC.  I do not think they ever made it like this.  Especially with GOLD frets! :icon_thumright:

...note the water slide...Thanks for the tips tonar...

Mayfly....You are going to love your JR...easily one of my favorite guitars for play....
