I'm just nervous on one detail. The mahogany that I bought for the body is about 7" wide, which means that I have to biscuit and join to halves to make a 14" (cut to 13" final).... Traditionally, the LP body is one piece. I don't expect this to be such a close clone, that it's indistinguishable from a '59.... I can buy single planks online, but that will cost more, especially with shipping. Some of the blanks are African Mahogany, not the traditional Honduras - which is what I bought. I'm worried about aesthetics. But you would only see the joint line if you look at the back or at the tail stock, but that would be covered by a strap anyway. It should not affect tone much, if at all.
