NGD!! ...finally got my P90 LP!

It's a slim 60s profile. I measured the neck thickness yesterday at the 1st fret. It measures .0836". That's just slightly thicker than my Tribute neck that I love at .0831". That explains why I like it so much.

Here's a full description from Gibson for this particular year model, these were the only Classics made this way, the rest of them have some kind of weight relief and PCB wiring. Gibson.com: Les Paul Classic 2018

Ooooh….a whole guitar…instead of a holy guitar. No weight relief! Sweet!(I’m old fashioned like that, I guess)
My LP is all mahogany, and weight relieved. I still like it…sounds like it should…feels like a SG is hanging there(if I’m not looking). But my Gladiator LP style is maple capped, and solid…feels like a LP when it’s on my shoulder.

I learned all about it after the fact so I didn't know what I was getting. I expected 9 hole weight relief (the only acceptable weight relief) and PCB wiring. I was so happy to find out that this model was built like a true standard and no like the other Classics.

I do not know, or care, what weight relief my LP has…I picked it up and played it. It rang out well to me. It is one of a very few of my guitars that remains as it was when I purchased. I couldn’t really ask for more, I guess.
 
A couple of family photos just for the hell of it. It took a long time to get here, but I finally have everything I ever wanted.
