theres some fine looking guitars here--
the premplus is awesome--
and that bluetop with bigsby is obscene--
always loved that re-fin goldtop,

I have 3 studios, first was a Gothic, which i never really gelled with (caused me to buy my first standard )

my second, was my own well documented re-fin--the Raw-raw power, which has 490/498 pups, and the fattest neck i own -a 95.
here he is=

and then i saw another, which i had to have--an 02, with the pups and electrics from a recent standard--I messed with the plastic to get more comfortable with it, but its one of my favs---got me gassing for a VM right now--
heres the 2 together

definately money well spent.

I don't have one at the moment but I have had nice 93 studio in the past. I have also played lots in stores and many sound and feel great. I have never tried one of those VM studios though

Do you have any pics of that Guitar before it was refinned?

No, but it was just your 'standard' '95 Wine Red LP Studio...played by a guy in a punk band who had stickers all over it...and used a garden trowel for a pick. A decent chunk of wood was missing from the bottom of the cutaway, probably in an effort to "rawk", and it was just generally an ugly duckling. I'm a sucker for an old GT, so what they hey?:)

I work for RS Guitarworks, so I had some pretty cool guys to assist me in the project...:ganz :)

You can find what one would expect to pay at the RS website.

Here's my '07 Vintage Mahogany. Stock, except for the nickel Grover tulips I put on. It's my first LP... there will definitely be more, eventually.

I saw one like this locally for $950 year was 2003 9.5 out of 10,The only thing different was is that it had to fret markers only side dots.Ebony neck btw!!.It looked like an Swamp Ash model Studio.

I might give it a go this weekend.

Hey, thanks. I found 'em on the 'bay, for around $45, so I grabbed them. They're 14:1, I believe. I like the stock ones, but I just had to have the shiny. :hee

Mine is a mid '95 that I bought in January '04. I remember the date because I had just quit smoking and decided to buy a guitar to remind myself how stupid it was to keep setting fire to my money... :fc

It was love at first play, my first Gibson and to this day probably my best guitar. It plays so nicely and felt like a HUUUUGE step up from the Epiphone Standard I traded in against it (no disrespect to those of you who have Epis BTW it served me well).

I sometimes wonder if I should maybe upgrade the pickups/pots but then I just think naah....leave it as it is... :dude:
