Need it to be July now!!
There was a slight mark to the paint underneath where the scratch plate was but otherwise no issues out of the box
But yes it would be easy to mark especially if it was gigged hard. I do love the satin finish though.
I Find modern poly finishes on the Gibsons makes them look tacky and cheap like it's been over done like I cheap Chinese copy. My 2016 standard was like that and had slight runs in the lacquer too

Except I forgot to take the soldering iron home to, so no pickup cover removal today.
That's ok though. I can at least take the pickguard off.
Until I took it off and realised that it left rather a rough screw hole...

Slight dodgy switch fitting...

But i'm going to put the poker chip on anyway....
And the back

So I put it back together and thought I'd have a little noodle for 10 minutes.
An hour later....other than the pokey chip I'm pretty sure there is nothing I'm going to change on it. Fingerboard needs some lemon oil, and maybe straplocks - but that's it!
Looking forward to the Goldtop arriving now!

Only difference being that the Studio had an ebony neck.
The more time I spend with it the more I live the look...and the feel of it. Really pleased with it
That's looking great mate
I always pop the screw back in the old hole too. Looks better than broken paint around the old hole
Nice work bagging the last goldtop. That's saved you a long wait until July
I shall expect an update once the covers are off
