I'm doing a through neck and I had some questions about angle. The guitar has a body shape that I designed but will use most of the specs of the les paul, going for kind of 1959 as far as measurements but I'm certainly making it my own.

How would I figure the neck and headstock angles if I used a bigsby vibrato and one of Roman's Tennessee bridges?

I know a through neck and bigsby isn't a traditional les paul but I've learned a lot from lurking around the forum here and want to shout out a big thanks to all the build threads and information here, you guys are great. Between here and mimf I feel really good as an amateur craftsman, you guys really make a guy feel welcome.

I'm not expert but I don't see how a neck through LP wouldn't be possible. You would need to start with a pretty big board though. Probably take a lot of carving if you were going to do a maple top.
