Gorgeous guitar. Nice work. You should have been proud of your work and put your own name/logo on the headstock.

Yes, very awesome all around. Maybe change the logo from "Gibson" to have a subtitle "by Your Name".

You could add it small, so as not to detract from the Les Paul aura it oozes out.

The playing was great too. I'd love to play a guitar that "I built" but I doubt I will every have the time to learn. I'm too busy just trying to learn to play.

That's really quite beautiful. I have to say that if it were me I'd want some uniqueness to it to but obviously you were going for a reproduction and you pulled it off very very well.
