Oversized body as well, to make up for Brian's 6"4 frame. The custom Jackson Y2KVs he used to use where oversized too.

I'd love to see some tiny fan of his save up and go buy this as a first guitar, Huge Les Paul body and 27" scale length. That scale length is terrifying to me, I can barely manage 25.5

Pity they never sorted out the issues with the white hardware and had to backtrack to standard chrome.

I bet he uses the family deal bucket too, I'd manage with a Big Gulp cup.

I'd forgotten they used to have powdercoated hardware, that did look better.

Couldn't they use the same process to make the hardware white that places do to make it black?

i thought the original one was a les paul standard/custom?

i like the idea of having a super big long scale lp, that's kinda cool.

His original one-off LP was a custom, his first sig was a standard. Visually this studio version is the same as the standard signature but without body binding, and probably has a baked play-doh fingerboard or whatever.

I liked his Custom the best visually. That fingerboard binding makes all the difference, and the white pickup covers/diamondhead are cool too.

Way different chemical make up, I think. Could powder coat though...
