Anyone got any idea how easy/hard this would be? seems like a good option for if you were intending to customise/change pickups etc. on whatever you bought anyway.

A bolt-on LP seems like an oxymoron to me. Changing pickups is a piece of piss compared to making one from scratch.
The main problem would be setting it up - getting the action and intonation right can be a right bh unless you know what you're doing

lol well i definitely don't, and if it won't be like a 'real' les paul i doubt i'll bother, think a cheap epiphone sounds good then.
Well I don't want to put you off too much man - some guitars come set up horribly from the factory as it is!Edited by alman on Tuesday 30th December 02:29
Having said that, it would be tragic to spend hours nicely painting and screwing together something which won't even stay in tune

I was pricing up how much it'd cost to build a Strat replica a couple of months ago. The price of a reasonable neck alone is that much. For that much all in I'd concerned that it'd be impossible to set up correctly. I'd worked out it'd cost £300 to build an ok spec Strat by getting all the parts separately if you are curious. I didn't bother because even then I was worried it might still be rubbish!
