Hello, I have a 2005 Gibson Les Paul Classic which is the one with '1960' written on the pick guard and 'classic' written on the truss rod cover. It's my favourite guitar and I have used it for about 4 years. But I am unsure about a couple of the specifications though.
Is it 'Weight Relieved'? It weighs 11lbs, so its definitely not chambered! But I heard that all LPs after 1986 have 'Traditional Weight Relief', I'm not sure if this one does though because it does weigh 11lbs and is a Gibson Les Paul Classic '1960', so is made to a 1960's specifications?
Am I right that the pickups are 496R and 500T and are these the 'hottest' Gibson Les Paul pickups? I think that's what they are, it also came with the pickup covers taken off.
Thanks in advance for any answers.

EDIT: It has what looks like satin chrome hardware, I think it's like this to look like it's 1960, but I've never seen one of the 2005 Classic 1960's with Satin Chrome, If that helps.
