I started the body carve on my Les Paul. I'd promised myself that I wouldn't use any power tools for this step, but the maple is so hard I had to use various sanders in the end!
With the exception of one nick (bottom right horn) that'll need to be steamed out, it's in good shape.
This is only the rough carve - it needs a lot of finessing once the binding is fitted, but happy to have got it to here.
