This came home with me today. I couldn't let it go as it played so well and was a great deal - it's my third Les Paul. The neck is slightly slimmer than my 2002 Standard and it's noticeably heavier but otherwise very reminiscent.
It originally had P90s which someone sadly routed out for humbuckers, but at least they fitted Lollar Imperials which are very nice, comparable to my Monty's in my Standard. Strangely the shop that did it fitted reissue pickup rigs but didn't sand them to fit so the neck one has snapped. The guy who sold it to me fitted the Bigsby (which I like) and a roller bridge which is interesting. He also fitted locking tuners, I have the same ones on another Les Paul and really like them. I have the original tuners and pickguard (which is broken but repairable). I think it's been refretted as most of the nibs have gone, either that or someone has pretty much filed them down.
