This one is the guitar that came in this condition (click here) "...yes, and I want the guitar to be mint you know... does it have any scratches?" "Actually, it's broken in two" (but it's CHEAP because of that)

So much for vintage LPs! Chambered Les Pauls sound pretty good in my humble. This one here has nothing special, I just purchased it randomly. I changed both pickups to TimBuckers...
