pints, gallons

To complicate things further, the Americans have different sized pints and gallons to the Brits.  A British gallon is 4.55 liters, but a US gallon is 3.9 liters.  Don't ask me why though.

Ha, I thought everything was bigger in the USA.  Seems not in this case ;)

That's a good looking "ugly duckling", don't change a thing ;D

Ive got its twin, luckily Gibson was nice enough to deliver mine with a chrome bridge so I only had to get the tuners.

Did they really mix the hardware black and chrome?! The mind, it doth boggle!

Indeed they did, came new from Sweetwater that way. They also had a couple that had upside down lefty TRC's.

Ever since Stevie Wonder took over the quality department things have been slipping through I guess...

Quality check card obviously sloppily filled in and then signed, sealed and delivered!

I have a Custom Shop LP Bass with four different finish tuners, but I always thought that was an inside joke. I'm not so sure anymore.

What tuners are you using on it? 

I'm interested in doing the same to mine...

I just used chrome versions of the stock Grovers so everything lined up and no need to drill.
