Some surprising chick rock with a red LP standard holding on and holding it in...  ;D

Yup, that's the Epiphone variant.

You're right. I hadn't really taken the time to watch the vid in full screen. One thing though, there is NO way that thing has the stock Epi pickups, which are terrible. I have a black Epi LP Standard and have played several others and the pickups are all very nasal, distorted and midrangey. (Mine sports Fralins now) I wonder about the production numbers on the Epi Standards. They very likely may be a case of the lower cost version being less produced than Gibson's "official" LP Standard and as such, I say it ought to count anyway.

Still a perfectly valid vid for this thread though... ;)

Unexpected Hobbit sighting. It's hard to believe there was a time guys looking like this and playing this type of music would be encouraged to perform on TV and that chicks would then be attracted to them. Where did it all go wrong?
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

That's nothing strange, Jake, in the 70ies lots of people did: Rush, Yes, Todd Rundgren/Utopia, Jethro Tull (Proggies had a real penchant for it) and - Ho-ho-ho-ho!!! ... diddel-ding-diddel-ding-diddel-ding ... - Carl Douglas. Everybody was Kung-Fu Fight(n)ing  ...

So what you're saying is that, basically , the nerds that got their asses kicked all the way through high school put up this front when they got a bit famous later.  Gotcha.

I'm not sure, I was distracted by the ugly, pointless modding that had occurred to that Les Paul jr DC the other guitarist was playing. What is all that filth up by the neck?

Well I can't say I have any problem with that sort of carry on (looks like a mudbucker; doubt it is, but I appreciate the nod).

It looks more to me like a Fender-bass-style string guard. That looks like a normal P-90 underneath.
