Now that's a seriously gorgeous guitar  :thumb-up: . Is it missing the toggle cap ? or was that a gold plated metal toggle with no cap required ?
So GB, is it an all mahogany body, no maple top ? I generally prefer LPs without a pick guard, but that one works from a looks perspective. When I took the pick guard off my JPLP it looked so much better, moreover, I have no need of a pick guard (unless I let other people play it, which is very rare).

Nice lighting for the photo BTW, my ex is a photographer at the Australian National Gallery and I suspect she'd be impressed  :thumb-up:

That's a beauty!

You'd think, for the amount of money they cost, they'd be able to throw in a toggle-switch tip :P

That´s part of the "Hot Mod"  ;D ;D ;D

It does have a toggle cap - they took it off for shipment.  These shots were taken by the seller - they did a great job!

Yes - it is all Mahogany, no Maple cap.  It takes some of the brightness out - sounds a little darker and perhaps has a touch more sustain.

I'm betting the sustain is 'for days'

Nigel Tufnel: The sustain, listen to it.
Marty DiBergi: I don't hear anything.
Nigel Tufnel: Well you would though, if it were playing.

I'm liking the gold top as well, although the tele looks like lots of fun  :thumb-up:

Hey rADAr, when was the last time the Ibi and the LP had some fingerboard oil ? (hard to see but maybe the fly is also in need), it may just be the photo but they look thirsty (to me) ?

Oh yeah, nice couch LoL

I got a new trem for this guitar, it might look like one of those cheap £10 licensed jobs of ebay but its not!  I did a lot of looking around as Squier Stagemasters need a special fitting baseplate.  Smaller than the TRS 101.

So why isn't this a shit cheapo trem?  Because it's all steel!  Hardened baseplate.  But what about the saddles?  Surely some pot metal alloy?  Wrong!  Steel!  I was expecting to have to swap the saddles but no need.  Also came with what appears to be an OFR sustain block!  Has the logo on it.  How much?  £41.  Where from ?  German seller off ebay!!
