If it's a standard stock, it's BB Pros. Though I've never seen a standard come with zebras... I could be wrong though...

I've got one. The asymetrical neck is nice. My 2 complains is that like with all other Gibsons - the neck is sticky due to the nitro used. The other one is it doesn't stay in tune that well (even with locking tuners). This is a common problem with Gibsons and is apparently a design flaw. Apart from that the guitar rocks. Quality and finish is really good - but you got to test one for yourself. I heard Gibson QCs are not that good nowadays. Plus shipping in from somewhere else has a risk of the headstock cracking - Gibson's weakest link. I would like to make it clear it does not sound like a hollowbody - has a sound like a Les Paul.

Here's mine in Honey Burst - I think I got an exceptional top - looks like a Gibson Historic top.

Nice one. Just that I'd prefer a teardrop burst rather than this. Oh well. There's always the Traditionals.

Also, the tuning problem is easily solved. Grease the nut. The way Gibson does their nuts is really bad. My LP (not a standard, though) had similar catching issues. Once a bit of graphite was added, it's gone.:mrgreen:

But for some reason, "purists" still argue that the chambered sounds chambered, and not like an LP. That's why the traditionals were created, to offer that option.

Yup that's what I did - I put graphite on the nut slots. We'll see how things go - haven't had a full on gig with it yet. The only reason why I don't go full solid is because of the weight - else I would have gone full solid. gotta take care of my back... haha.

Sorry to burst your bubble Index7 but your LP is a IceTea Burst
The HoneyBurst has a tear drop shape instead. Anyway exceptional flame! lucky you.
