It had some loose fret wire and im thinking of swapping it for a different guitar, i got it for around Ł900. I was thinking a gibson les paul studio, im looking for something in a similar price range. I play all types of music, but mainly metal, classical rock etc all help appreciated

I personally like the EC-500 as it happens to come with holy grails (EMG 81 and EMG 60 pick-ups) though I think that one is much cheaper than 900 pounds...

	and now for something completely different

What is the horrible wood of which you speak? What do you think is underneath a Standard's veneer top?
