You could always ask for twin rows of screws or bolts.

thats true! good point. something to think about...

I think it would be cool if you changed the knobs from black speed to gold speed, and had gold pickups. It would give it that Les Paul Supreme look, minus the flamed maple.



the les paul supremes look lovely but i've always been partial to the custom look :)

Personally, I would go with open black coils - the standard really. On the other hand, zebra or gold covers would look good as well.

yeah, i was an ass and ordered them late friday night so the order hasnt even been touched by BKP yet but i can't wait to get them.

question. when i got my first BKP, the order went out very fast, shipped over seas in a day or 2 and got to a shipping plant in New York and it took over a week for me to get the order when i'm only a state or 2 away from New York. is that normal for you guys?

Nope, but I'm in Holland. I got my pickups in two days (at home).

I got the silver covers and the LP standard dials and replaced the truss rod cover on my Classic with an unbranded one to look similar to a vintage LP.  I also have a Classic before they switched to the metal machine heads used on the standard, and also just like yours, I have a litle more flame in the wood than most Classics as well.

I think I like what you did with yours better though...

I also put Rebel Yells in mine too.  Good call
Real men turn their volume to 11!

Rebel Yells + Les Paul = the Ultimate Rock Pickup.

just got them in today! they will definitely look great in there. can't wait to hear how they sound.

and this is actually the 3rd LP classic i've owned. i had another cherry burst model that i sadly dropped on concrete and $%&#ed up pretty bad. it was a great guitar but the finish on it was a bit more orange.  than red. and i like the red better. and i also bought a black one in very good condition from a friend for SUPER cheap ($500) to help him out with some bills. but i later sold it to fund my strat project and got $1100 for the LP. i felt a little guilty...
