No ears on mine. One piece.

Is this the standard top for the custom 59 body or you paid extra for more flames?
The fretboard also looks much better than the cheap looking Bulldog boards. Quality inlays as I can see. Does the neck have a 17-degree headstock angle?
Neck angle I didn't measure, but it's pretty close to my r7.

I did pay 100 extra for this mild flame top. The back is chambered for less weight. I think without chamber it's gonna be around 9.5 pounds, which I think is a bit heavy for my build.
