How the hell did I miss this thread, I really haven't been spending enough time at TTR lately.
Happy New Guitar day for almost a week ago @RobV, & apologies for being so damn late with it.
That is a nice plaintop, really nice, & I like plaintops.
How have you been liking it thus far, hopefully it's everything you were wanting. While on the subject of plaintops, here's my Norlin plaintop
Enjoy that fine Lester. Cheers

Here we have a Classic that is unique to some stores. Zebra pickups, pearl tuners. Mine is a plain top as well.

Mine have the Zebra's also, the previous owner put covers on. It does have the kidney beans on it though. I am still not sure on these circuit boards.

Thanks & yes, she is very nice to play, the set up is awesome and smooth. I am finding it weak compared to my SG & RG. More than likely lower output pickups so I have to adjust everything for it, as I said above, I am not sure I like the circuit board's, even on my SG, sure they work fine but my 05' with BB Pro's wrap around bridge & 50's wiring would smoke these in tone. I shouldn't say that I guess, it just seemed livelier, rawer per say where these seem more refined if that is a good way of putting it?

Nuce. Mine has 61T pickups and they sound really chunky! Different markets would assumedly have different versions, I would guess.

Yes same as in mine, they sound good, chunky, clear but plugging the SG louder and then the RG even more, it's more than likely higher output pups. Don't get me wrong, it sounds good, I am just getting use to it.

Mine came stock with 57 Classics, zebras.

And no circuit board, all old school wiring, it's a 2017

Interesting! My Prestige with the SD distortion has more distortion but is not louder. The Lzzy Hale Explorer has a 57+ , it sounds really good too!

My 16' SG std. has it with 498T/490R & this 19' LP has it. It has the 61's in it also. Well I guess the difference also is I am not plugged into a 50w also.

Mine is a 16 as well. I think the Custom Shop bengal burst is a 490 or 498. 61s aren't as hot as those buggers!

Love it, just letting it get acclimated before doing any tuning and what not, just wanted to make sure it made it in one piece

Nice One. Three Drools.
