I know this isn't a Gibson, but It struck me just how much like a LP jr this looks after I added my custom pickguard! I also concur with earlier posters re: everyone should have a P90 in their collection. Since adding this I have played it the most - moreso than my Les Paul, 335, vintage: Strat, Yamaha SG2000s and Hofners... I add that just to show how compelling P90s are over their peers!

I have a ivory white LP Studio 2007. Never gigged sits on stand in my dinning room. Went to pick it up yesterday and have cracks in finish along the body joins... This is the 2nd I have had, the first, the finish broke around the tail stop posts and was replaced under warranty in under 6 weeks and at that time was just sitting in its case! Now, I know there is a fad for relic models and that over many years some finishes do craze, but 4 years? No smoke, direct light/heat and largely under used?? I think it is unacceptable to be honest. Am at a loss to know whether to leave it and let it get worse and have a refinish or give in to the fact that Gibsons really are sh1tilly made - no matter all the bollocks they spin you about cellulose being the best finishes...
