Not a studio. Gibson Les Paul Special Limited, 2002. I swapped out the normal pickups for 57 - 57+ hummies. His name was Woody. Casualty of divorce. Oh Woody where art thou.. My 2007 Gold Top reissue had the P90's.

May Woody find its way back home.
I always confused Specials with Juniors. I wasn't a big Gibson head, I was much more a Hamer guy when I was active with guitars and stuff. Back when I had money and was real active, Gibsons were coming out of their cases from the factory with 1/4-in of fret hanging out. It was a real dark time for them.
In addition to my Riviera with 3 P90s (fuck, what a great guitar!), I'm still out to get a Les Paul. Right now, a bunch of
investors are selling off their
investments and it'll be interesting to see how many budge on their price. There's a glut of unplayed guitars on the market. I just ordered a used one from Guitar Center and had it shipped to my local store. It arrived in less than stellar condition and I declined to buy it. In addition to the flight case being crushed because it wasn't really packed, it had none of the original electronics in it. Somebody pulled a fast one on whoever bought it for Guitar Center.
As a backup, I found a Korean-made no name Samick with case for $150 that has a thick two-piece mahogany body, what seems to be a full half inch or 12 mm figured all-the-way-through top, a 1990s era where real wood was used. The neck isn't as chunky and preferable as a Les Paul, but it's cheap and sings like Debbie Harry. I am thinking of just dropping in some 57s or 61 Burstbuckers. Maybe, if I'm adventurous, maybe I'll just splurge and get some Duncans.
I hope your new restart back up in America's bitchland will be an incredible and positive change. Vote Pierre!
I do worry though, no elevator and Vera. Are the stairs going to be tough on her?
