  1. Awesome Studios! Here's mine: '09 Studio Mahogany in Faded Black. I can't believe how great the cheapest USA Lesters feel! Unbelievable bang-for-buck. I've added Grovers with a Hipshot D-tuner and have a TonePros locking stopbar on the way. The Mahogany cap definitely makes things darker, though the classic bark is still there. The 490R and 498T are fine pups, but I'm thinking the Iommi's bite could get me closer to where I want to be. I love the 60's slim neck over the '59 that I found on most of the other Studios I played at GC that day. The rosewood's got some nice figuring and the frets, though not polished, were perfectly straight. Very little set-up needed for low, crystal clear buzz-free action. I can't believe how resonant these chambered Pauls can be! My previous experience was with the 12+lb 70's ones we'd get for $500 in the 90's. It still smells like raw Mahogany, too! Weird or normal? Proud to join the club! Ted
