Hey Guys Thanks for all the replies. She got here yesterday. Sophia, which I'm now gonna call this guitar, is super light. I did notice that the route through the control cavity seems a bit bigger than my historic-could be just me. Also, I believe there are chambers as there is some loose dried glue or something that is rattling around in the body. I can't get rid of the slight rattle which leads me to believe it's locked in one of the chambers. It is however a one piece body. It's a very cool guitar, fairly resonant and sounded quite standard for a les paul when plugged in. Nice shifts when the tone controls were rolled back and very balanced bit in the open bridge position. It's obviously not as sweet as my R9 but I think with some tweaks it will get pretty close. I completely took it apart-removed all electronics and hardware. The top is gorgeous but the person who did this one kinda screwed up with the burst transition and overall tear shape. Long of the short it's gonna go to RS guitarworks Tuesday for a top refin in light/washed teaburst or lemonburst. I'll resurect this thread when Sophia comes back. I'm also gonna add the RS upgrade kit and lightweight tailpiece. This is gonna be my main gig/rehearsal guitar so I don't have to break out the historics in dodgy settings.
