I've been fiddling with a 54 LP recently...in many ways, my ideal LP. Wrap tail, P90's, soft V neck.

This has been going on for a while, I believe?
Best of luck!

Good call and great guitars. I've had a few, but it's more about the heritage, artifact thing now.

p90's on les paul is a different breed, it got some bite that HB equipped Lesters don't have, at least on the one I used to own. I love the finish cracking too.

It's a 1996 R6 bought it with a repaired headstock, according to previous owner, it was repaired in Japan in 2006. Had it for a few months but eventually sold it. Not too shabby repair, has hardened in time.
