Gibson Axcess Build anyone?

[fly_with_v]

Has anyone built a Les Paul Axcess? Are there any plans available? Is it neck through, set neck, super long tennon?

I beginning my first build getting ready for my first build from scratch and will be building a '59 standard from Stew Mac + Catto plans. This project will be over most of the summer and I will probably end up with a couple practice bodies and necks using cheap wood and 1 final complete guitar using good wood and a nice top.

However, I am really interested in building an Axcess and will probably be testing the waters on that as time permits. I am hoping to use some of the practice bodies and necks to protype an Axcess.

Any information would be helpful.

Yes this is my first post here, but I have been lurking for a while.

What i know about the Axcess...

1) its thinner than a standard

2) Its lighter because mahogany has been chambered

3) its neck angle appears to be slightly sless than a standard, as i remember the pickups not being quite as high off the body.

4) I THINK that the neck is acually set into the body up to the floyd trem rout and is similar to a neck thru fro mthe trem route forward.... I remember lookin at the back of it and seeing a different grain pattern forward of the trem cover like you would see on a neck through, but the rear of the guitar was solid......

hopefully someone has one and can set su both straight..

If i were going to build one, however.. I would build it as a neck thru, less mucking about.
