Any Gibson les paul reissues at steves music??

not that im aware. they dont carry much in the way of high end gibbys. in any case, scanning any expensive lp will be frowned uppon, as powdering them is a very bad idea - it doesnt come off easily.

[ihavenofish]

so, i am theoretically able to get a 59 reissue to scan. tis not a cost free endeavour though. in will cost something in the range of about $400-500 cdn to pull it off. this would deliver an obj file (high res mesh) of the top, outline, and neck back and headstock shape and angle. it will show indents where the pickup routs and mounting hardware is too, but those will be taped up so youll get no details.

this if course is a reissue, not a "real" '59, so i dont know if people will be satisfied with it. scanning a real 59 is out of the question - at least by me.

OK...I am In, if others are willing to contribute, and I am also willing to do all the work to bring the model to a NURB or polygon version, do all the conversions etc....

OK, so here is our chance....anyone else?

Hi everyone.
This is my model.

Hi everyone.
This is my model.

that looks pretty damned good. did you do the top by eye or with measurements? im imagine theres a group here who want "correct" 59 contours, but most like me would be happy with something that just looks nice.

[Powershaper]

That I have to share a LP top that looks nice.

The ones on previous posts are vintage correct, measures and details.

Hi guys

Just to let you know I might be able to gett a hold of some vintage parts as well.

[CyborgCNC]

Hey that would be great as well!

For those, like for example the pickguard, just place it on a regular flat bed scanner, then use a caliper to measure the dimensions.

Send the image over, and I would be more than glad to create the model, and make it available on as many file formats as possible....

OK, now this thing is starting to snowball! Can't wait to get started!

GOOD JOB SLPD!

Hey Guys,

Any of you making ang rough bodies and necks?

[corrie]

Hey all I would be more than willing to chip in as well, any clue when the scan will take place? Here are a couple of pics from a file on this forum.The top is all Walnut wood, does anyone have a top file with the holes for the bridge and stop bar. Here is a pic of a clef done in Walnut as well. I,ll see if I can post the STL file for the clef for all to share. If you don,t see it posted PM me and I,ll send it that way, cheers to all.

[corrie]

Hey Im almost done with my guitar. I used the 59 lp file found here but i didnt feel like i was up to making the neck just yet, so i got a cheap neck from cko auctons (ebay) and made it a bolt on, my wife liked the spiral machining marks on the top wood so i left them
on I know i made a lot of messups on this one but live and learn eh! the top is sapele wood?
and the bottom is poplar
