So here's my second work in progress, I thought I'd post where I'm at so far although I've been working on this one for a while so I might not get all of my progress posted right away. It's not a Warmoth kit so hopefully that's okay to post on here!
Anyway, I've always wanted a "real" Les Paul so when I discovered Precision Guitar Kits who do a really nice set neck LP kit I had to give it a try.
I went with the plain top kit with a 59 neck. It's chambered and not bound anywhere.

Scary looking shipping box:
The top has a nice figure on half. Hah, not what I was expecting but pretty cool!
Also a nice knot on the plain side...I really like this sort of thing. Much better than a "perfect" piece of wood, at least to me.
I think it's going to look great when finished!
Really nice mahogany for the neck.
The back looks nice too, although it's a bit lighter than the neck. And sorry about the dark photo.
The neck joint literally suctions together, and look how tight everything fits together. Later in the project we'll see how I messed this up with a little help from mother nature...
