Yeah, I just bought a new Epi LP STD Plustop and there's no way it weights 9lbs. Did you order a hardcase with it as well? Did you buy brand new or did the guitar have a previous owner?

The black is gonna be hell to keep clean I would think. I have the Vintage Sunburst and even that shows every little fingerprint, especially around the black areas.

Congrats on your purchase, I bought mine about 2 weeks ago and my poor Strat hasn't seen the light of day since.

Slowhand0461 and myself just installed new Rockfield SWCs pickups (bridge & neck), 2 orange drop capacitors, new tone switch, jack and mine plays like a Million Bucks! I couldn't be happier!


****************Big shoutout to Slowhand0461 for the pickup & capacitor install, there's not a shop in all of Raleigh, NC that could have done it any better! ************
