No axes!
Sure there is. A Les Paul is an axe.

...and you just ruined our upcoming camping trip to the Olympic Peninsula. LoLNot true. The deer on Lopez Island have them bad. I've read that the other San Juan Islands have them, too. Kind of a banana belt up there. Drier climate.
Until I see you cut down a tree or split wood with one, I won't believe it.Sure there is. A Les Paul is an axe.
I have no experience with the one you posted, just the solid rubber ones. They are very forgiving and kind to the haft but there is just to much bounce there for my taste in seating the head on the shoulder. I use steel hammers but wonder if a good wooden mallet might not be the best compromise.I haven't but it seems to be very popular. I only have a steel hammer and thought it was too rough/risky to be smashing on the knob with?

very cool!
That's a beauty it is. Must of hit some steel to dent that bad boy!We have several nicer woodcraft stores and they carry a German mallet that looks good.
This is one I bought several years ago from a guy who collects nautical antiques and he said it was lignum vitae.
It puts a push on what it hits.

They all have a place in the shop I suppose. @rjdankert made a quite nice wooden mallet if I remember correctly.
If you make a "second", I will run it.That's a beauty it is. Must of hit some steel to dent that bad boy!
I have plans to cut me some gnarly mountain mahogany this summer for a mallet project. Its about as hard as anything we have close by.

What about a Gretsch?Sure there is. A Les Paul is an axe.
Yes please! More pics are always welcome as far as I'm concerned. That's a gorgeous guitar!What about a Gretsch?
Well not technically, it's a kit that's based on the 5440 Bass, still needs a good set up and i have to move the tail piece over but it's come together quite nicely, i dont think im gonna be making too many of these because i went through an entire 30 dollar can of nitro-cellulose lacquer on this guy.
sorry for the grainy picture but it's Maple plywood over basswood bracing with a solid maple neck.
Do you guys want to see better pictures in a week or so when i fix it?
Thank you!Yes please! More pics are always welcome as far as I'm concerned. That's a gorgeous guitar!
Nice Les Paul! What’s fishy? Um, a Custom with gold hardware oughta be black? Just kidding. What year is it?
