Hi Nigel, it depends what you're looking for.
When I built a couple of Les Pauls I followed 2 blogs; "Luthier Than Thou" and "The Accidental Luthier". I just googled Les Paul build and found those 2 very helpful blogs. Saved me a lot of mistakes (although I did plenty of my own) and general research.
There are some excellent luthiers on this forum who readily share their knowledge and experience.
.............And welcome to the forum!

hi
I agree - depends what you are looking for. For me, I go hunting online if I need to build something I never have before.

Here's some I found :

Cheers Paul,
Glad to help. I remember your bass and our emails.
