yep that must be it
thats all I'm saying...
Custom Special looks really cool to. But a Standard is now well over 2k? Trads very near 2k...
Fugly or cool?
Cool.
The goldtop looks good too but it needs P90s, damnit.
The couldn't-be-more-confusingly-named0if-they-tried "Les Paul Custom Special" looks intriguing. Slightly odd but The SG version less so. Should be a really good bargain when they're on Amazon for £300 next June...

Other musings:
- Baffled that they've taken the "pokerchips" of the switches for the LP Standards. Cost savings in the extreme?!?!
- Still no natural finish Explorers
- Nice to see the Firebird Studio back for a bit; I always had a soft spot for them.

The Firebird thing isn't terrible but as usual they have to go and ruin it with one detail - the misaligned knobs and switch. They should all be in a straight line either parallel to the top or the bottom edge of the guard.

I like it. If it's built better than a sonex it might be worth a look.
