A good indicator of great worksmanship is often the unseen bits of the instrument. My new Les Paul Studio PP looks great on the outside, only the insides would be proof of dedicated production. Take a look at the 3-way toggle cavity above...
...& finally the pickup cavity. They are as meticulously handled as the instrument's external appearances. So this is a thumbs-up for QC. I've seen shoddy finishes for costly instruments, the manifestations here are certainly respectable. Also note the maple cap which is substantial at the centre portion.

Sub, as much as buying a gutiar is about our ears, the tone, the feel of the neck, our needs etc; can you kindly share with us how you physically inspect a guitar when you come across a piece you like. How do we know if the neck's misaligned? Truss rod broken? Is there a mental check-list you do?
Thanks!
hi :-) this would make a good, new entry.
Thanks Sub... Looking forward to it.
