EvanPC Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I decided to look in the pup cavities of my LP, and noticed some handwritten acronyms inside. I'd assume they're there for production/manufacturing purposes, but does anyone know what they mean? Neck cavity. Perhaps the "N" is for Neck, but can't figure the "A". Bridge. Again, I'd assume the "LP" is for Les Paul, but can't figure the "OP". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paging Page Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 No clue here, but - did you buy it new from the factory? Wondering if it's something an individual owner/builder tossed in there to mean something only to them......... since it's handwritten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrosurfer1959 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 it's usually a model and color code, Can't see enough of your guitar to see the color is it a NAtural by chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanPC Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 It's a Studio model and it is a natural finish, so it seems logical (regarding the finish). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 it's usually a model and color code, Can't see enough of your guitar to see the color is it a NAtural by chance. +1 Possibly LPOP = Les Paul ? Plus . . . . . in NA = NAtural finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre S Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Mine is only in the neck pickup cavity, LPWR, Les Paul Wine Red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanPC Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 idk if its just me, but that maple cap seems huge! Depth wise that is....Looks freakn great and mighty clean.... It appeared to be about 3/4 of an inch thick at what seemed to be the thickest part. Definitely over a half inch, at the very least. I have no idea what's considered normal or average.

I have no idea what's considered normal or average. Studios are usually an 1/8th" less on thickness on the maple tops than Standards and up.... Pretty Sure the markings in the cavity are: LP = Les Paul o = Studio P= Plus/Pro Top Since it is a natural finish they used a Plus AA maple flame top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup; The standard is 3/4 of an inch.......I won't buy Epis with flame tops 'cause they're veneer........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
