Looking at getting a backup guitar for my Crimson - finally gave up on the Ibanez last weekend, I just don't enjoy playing it anymore - I've probably not even attached the whammy bar since I was at uni and I can't quickly Drop D it.
I'm going to visit Crimson tomorrow (to get a bit of work done on my Custom) and to check out some of their stock guitars - they've got some stock guitars which seem to be based on my Custom albeit without the neck-through design and lower quality hardware/electronics etc - they start at about 800 quid.
Alternatively, I've been looking at Les Paul Studios:

https://new.andertons.co.uk/p/HLPST...dio-faded-hiperf-2016-spec-in-satin-fireburst
They're now under a grand from Andertons.
Firstly, do any of you real LP fans know if these are "proper" LP pickups? or do they stick lower quality hardware/electronics on the Studios?
2nd, 2016 models - I take it these don't have the wide, flat, picket fence fretboards. Is this correct?
3rd, the trad spec and hi perf spec seem really similar. The obvious differences seem to be the Ti nut and smoothed out access heal on the Hi Perf. Also, the Hi Perf seems to have G Force.
Also, I'm looking at a new Custom surfboard at the moment which will fuck all this up anyway.
