What's your budget first because you might be able to get one made

Cheap cheap cheap for this one!

Sesh

Kitbuiltguitars.co.uk used to have them. 
Most of the kit sites seem to have dried up, sadly.

Gear4music ones any good?  The kit quality is usually pretty good as we all found out in the 2014 thefretboard summer challenge

Wrong shape and bolt on neck!...

Rocker

You could always glue the 'bolt on neck' in place. Use the bolts to get the neck correctly set and wait for the glue to cure.

It's weird - I had a wee search after reading this thread and couldn't find anyone elling a half decent sc LP Jr kit.
A few dc kits are still out there but no sc.
Wonder why?

Shame that Faber dont seem to be doing them any more

The only place I have found is precision kits in canada

And from what I understand from reading TGP they have changed the shape of the bodies of all their LP styles to avoid falling foul of Gibson's lawyers.
BYO is still showing one

Issues - can't tell if the shape is accurate from that angle but it definitely looks thinner than standard. Rosewood fingerboard will add £74 for a CITES certificate.

GSPBASSES on here. Ask Graeme.

You mean some thing like this.



Sorry to say, (but good for me) the waiting list for these is very long. To get one you'll have to be very patient and have lots of money, especially if you want it kitted out with all the best hardware.

That goes for my DC kits as well

What would the cost be for a body and neck?

GSP LPJ's are stunning and worth the wait!

They are. Here's my GSPB Special, now my favourite guitar.
