Isn't it lovely? It's just the standard American Special in a limited edition finish.

Would need pickup and bridge covers of course, and I'm undecided between black/anodised gold/red scratchplate or keep the white. Whaddyathink?

Could possibly be mine. We'll see.

Think gold would make it look a lot more vintagey.

Yes, I think so too. Trouble is those plates are quite expensive things to just try out! Could be amazing...

One of my favourite looks for a P is natural ash/maple board and black guard, and I'm thinking the same could work on this combo.

On the other hand I can't get the red out of my mind either.

Maybe I should concentrate on getting the damn thing first!

I haven't tried one, I just like the look!

I think the nut width is the same as an US Standard, but shallower front to back.

I hope it's not too J like as that's the main reason I want a P - I much prefer the necks, even on the cheapest copies.

I see some Ps have a 1.75" nut - is this standard these days, or just on a few reissues (I know I tried the Mex 50s P which had a 1.75 nut and it felt huge - I liked it, but if the slightly smaller nuts are the standard on most P style ones then I'd be happy with that too)

It's awesome. Absolutely fantastic. I'm even liking the stock rounds (having played the same set of flats for 3 years!)
The Zoom B3 that arrived this morning seems to be the best use of £150 ever as well.
Stock (sorry about the large photos!):

New scratchplate:
