I have yet to identify exactly what it is but.... yeah, there is something magical about and actual Gibson LP vs a kit LP through a Marshall.... For all the hoo-haa over 'tonewoods' it is about the only thing I can put it down to, being a thick Maple cap on Mahogany.... Even though the others are setup exactly (as close as I can) the same as the LP there is still a difference that expensive hardware and hours of fretwork doesn't correct on the kits. Maybe It's the I'm missing the microchip RF-id tag under the fretboard on the kit builds, I don't know....
Mostly the same can be said for my Fender Strat's and Tele's, though not to the same extent.. Good hardware and a fundamentally good build will get you extremely close.
I got a MIM loaded guard through the guys at Stratosphere. and at a very competitive price. I think it was the one change to my plywood Strat that took it well past the finishing post... You know that you can get complete new guitars through them for quite a bit better than current Aussie retail prices...
A jam where you can turn up the noise sounds like fun...
