I thought that, but after playing around with some microphonic pickups I didn't notice any difference with guitars of the same scale length and electrics I don't think there is much truth in it anymore tbh. Even if there was, it'd be lost as soon as your put a pedal between guitar and amp.

I haven't had the chance to test it myself since I only have one guitar that old, so I'll defer to you. It'd make more of a difference than a guitar with modern pickups, but still not really a tangible difference. I didn't mean to make it sound like it was a big difference in the first place anyways lol, just minute.

They sent with the pick three different grit files. It was amusing.

It's kind of disheartening that Guthrie Govan and Dweezil Zappa use these things.

Haha, sorry if I sounded a bit of an rear end in a top hat, I am currently waiting in for someone to pick their guitar up and they are almost 2 hours late. I need to go out and do things but if I'm out when he calls it'll cause stupid drama because he needs it for a gig tonight. Musicians suck.

I'm not really a fan of either, just that they're both really skilled players. Well, Guthrie moreso. Guthrie has a lot of good chromatic licks that I like to steal and put in proper non-fusion jazz.

Guy just showed up and tried to pay me with a load of lovely pedals, I sent him down the local shop to get some money from the cash machine so he could pay the price he agreed to. I think I scared him a little.

That's not a raw power LP though, at least not the equivalent to the SG. e: I never noticed there were other finishes. So much for "raw" power I guess.

Honestly I find the way everyone reacts to non-standard LP's vs non-standard strats (different pickups/neck woods etc) kinda interesting.

I think you are right in that the SG is the Special Raw Power while the LP is the Studio Raw Power.

I think the reaction has to do with the fact that Gibsons are never offered with maple fretboards as standard and so it sits in the same "one off" category as the inverted V.

Showing up 2 hours late when the job was apparently "super urgent" was bad, but when he said "Bit skint, but we could do it like a trade, I've got some pedals here..." and opened a loving Lidl carrier bag full of half-broke Danelectro pedals I got a bit indignant. Still, he paid eventually.

Gibsons don't sell too good second-hand, especially the more 'exotic' models like that. Not going to lie, if it was a bolt-on neck I'd buy it just to annoy Gibson fanboys.

Put in some better pickups and switch out the gold hardware for chrome/nickel, it wouldn't be half bad. Maybe a better paint color.

It has 57 Classic which I find are not that bad to be honest.

The gold hardware is fading which gives it a cool beater look in combination with the satin finish chipping off on the "corners". It looks like PRS binding.

Gonna play devil's advocate about the pick thing - if mixodorian is getting residue on his hands and the site talks about cracking or whatever it is, maybe whatever they make the picks from actually does actually have some moisture content that dries up over time???

Chinese seller got back to me today, said he was off on a business trip when the bass was made (which is possible - most of his feedback mentions good communication and I didn't get a reply to the message I sent during the process) and therefore didn't get to look it over like he normally would've, which meant there was a misunderstanding about the body wood based on one of my messages in the purchase process. Possible I was just unlucky, sending pictures of the flaws through tonight and hopefully that'll get me a decent refund. Still, somewhat of a cautionary tale for the rest of you.
