Just finished building another one last week. This is the one you've all been waiting for. Some of you may be disappointed because it doesn't have a unique body shape or size. No chambering. No 5 ply binding. No tricked out electronics either...not even a tone bypass switch, or a p/p for splitting the pups. It's basically just a LP...mahogany body, maple top, single cream binding, HH, 2 vol, 2 tone, 1 three-way selector switch, stop tail. I did add a few minor upgrades from a LP Standard however...
Here's the specialty menu:
Flame maple top;
Belly cut;
Polyurethane finish;
Gold Foil humbuckers. Man, these really sound great in this guitar. (You might recall that I originally put them in one of my other recent builds, the chambered small body LP);
Compensated bone nut;
Neck shape is a little thicker than the stock "slim taper" neck, it's not asymmetric or "V" either this time;
The neck is obviously bolt-on;
Schaller roller bridge. I really like this bridge because each string's roller is adjustable side to side so I can create any string spacing at the bridge that I want;
Grover tuners;
Split Diamond head decal, rather than the crown like on most Standards;
Schaller strap locks. I use these on all of my guitars, yes every one. Mainly because they are THE BEST. I have lots of straps but only 5 or 6 are my favorites, so these get the working end of the strap locks and I can use any of them with any of my guitars (I think I've got over 50 now).
All hardware is gold plated except for the pups. I kept the chrome covers to help set off the gold foil.

Sorry about the sideways pics, I can't figure out how to rotate them. You'll just have to deal with it.
