I don't have a set of calipers. I just used my trusty fat max.

 

You're not measuring your nut with a part of your anatomy, are you sir?

Dr. Mark, if I measured correctly (most likely didn't), I came up with 2.09 (53.20mm) at the bridge E to E.

 

It's official. You have a normal guitar, nut to bridge. The string spread averages 2.0 inches on Les Pauls.

I can't see that well

[davesultra]

What do ya'll think of the pearl buttons?

 

Nice knobs. I think my guitar has enough pearl though, I'm sticking with the factory gold buttons.

Well at least my guitar is normal, don't know if I can say the same 'bout the guy playing it.

[DetroitBlues]

I like the buttons. Great job. Maybe you can keep one in the stable on a long term basis.

Shoot! If I was as good a player as my gear, I would be touring with Slash.

Brent or me???

Now that's interesting! What's the string spread at the bridge?

2 1/16

That's what it was missing! Looks awesome Brent

[Gianluca]

hm, not in love with the perl buttons

 

I'd have kept them as they were,

please do not get me wrong, that guitar is a culture milestone(at least to me)

I think it should be kept as the handcrafters made it

 

but I'm a bit biased here because that guitar as its originl late 1953 first production/introduction(if I'm not wrong) is my favorite solid body of all times

very valuable to be kept as is for the future(s) to come

[RJLII]

Nice! I've always been partial to that version of a Les Paul Custom too.

[davesultra]

Brent or me???

Was actually referring to me!

However, I wouldn't want either of you to feel left out. So yeah, you're both a bit off too!

You guys are cracking me up this AM. Stop that. Not sure if I would change anything if I had it.

[yoslate]

Nice...the universal application of this. Love a vague pronoun, in just the right spot!

One of my specialties.
