  1. Not quite, the "vintage" tuners are why most guitarists installed Grovers until gibson made those standard. The bridge is the standard Tune-o-matic. The Standard as a locking bridge and locking Grovers. Really, The LPJ is a great guitar for the money. It seems to be a renamed Studio Faded. My only point was do not compare it to the Standard as you are not even in the same ballpark. If you want a fancier finish with the flame, you will need to step up to a Studio Deluxe at $1400, twice the price. Just remember that the finish is purely for show. Since you are looking for coil-splitting, check out the Deluxe II (sold at Guitar Center and Musicians Friend). I bought the next step up (Traditional Pro II) and could not be happier.
  2. The LPJ has a maple neck, the standard Les Paul has mahogany. The back is probably a 3-piece instead of a 2-piece. All of the appointments are cheaper as is the finish. Really, you cannot compare the two (the Standard costs almost 4x as much). If that is all you can afford, that is probably still better than an Epiphone, but it's no where near the same as a $2000 guitar.
  3. You should be able to. You can also buy the Molex connector to wire the pickup using the quick connect board. Personally, I'd rip it all out and go traditional wiring. If someone wants the guitar stock if you resell, you would have everything to drop back in.
  4. Right now I am listening to Bad Religion's True North. Definitely a good album; although the band is getting old, it is not a throwaway.
