Raising and lowering pickups would raise and lower the pole pieces too, right? I mean, without actually adjusting them separately. They just follow along? I am not yet a Jedi, as the saying goes.
Will have to do some messing about on the new one if I keep it.
You be right.

I have a 2019 50s Standard too, and it's easily pushing 10 pounds.

The first thing they do to a baby when it's born is whoop it's butt so it now understands it's a baby...

Is it chambered? Maybe not if it's that heavy.
Back when Les died, I was gigging an ES339 and felt bad because I didn't own a Les Paul at the time, so I bought a wine red Studio in his honor, and I needed a write off. It's chambered and is loud unplugged, it's actually a great guitar. I think it's an 07/08, it was NOS. Les himself was a fan of the chambering.
I believe that is a 2019 50s Standard with P90s, they're not weight relieved.

I don't know what the hell happened, but that is one awesome guitar!!!

Now that you guys mention it, it looks like a reflection of a clipboard.

I'm also finishing up a les paul project for my wifes sons birthday that's coming up. I purchased a 2nd Gibson body with a big knot on the cap.... Drilled all the holes and cavities myself without a template and carved a neck pocket for an off brand explorer neck,,,, Did a root beer burst .... It looks pretty good... All that's left is a setup. So its half Gibson and half something else... lol
I did the colors with water base shoe dye.
Pic?

You'll probably go OCD on another one they pull out of the back of the store. So if this on is as you describe, I would suggest getting it.

It sure has been nice in here lately!

I have a 50s LP Standard and I didn't like the Burstbuckers that came in it at all. I didn't like them on other Gibson's I have owned in the past. I am a 57 Classic fan myself. However, on my 50s LP I put in a set of Seymour Duncan 'Whole Lotta Humbucker". I found it give that classic hard rock sound that I like. If Rabs' suggestion doesn't work out for you, I suggest checking these pups out.

Wow!!! Looks great, nice and shinny!!

I'm using what StewMac recommended. I hardly doubt spraying Nitro on a headstock is going to affect the tone on an electric guitar. lol
Don't forget to keep us up to date with your progress. Pics are wanted too!

Am I correct in assuming this guy is measuring fretboard width, not neck girth? I have to be, right?
Looks like he was measuring the "girth".
I have a 50s Standard and I love it. It is chunkier as describe, but not so much so as to be off putting.

I'm just speechless... a big loss for us all.

He used washers to keep the unit from resting directly on the headstock.
