my question is: Has anyone bought this guitar - Is it the same as Jimmy Page just with different pickups and no super-circuit?

Does anyone know the exact wood they are using?
The reason i went for that model is that it has very thin all nitrocellulose finish which i really prefer over poly and these amazing Antiquity pickups.

Is there anything i should know before getting the guitar - so there won't be any surprises.
(In addition to that i went to a shop and played 3 Les Paul Studios by Gibson, and 2 were HORRIBLE and 1 was quite good, but all of them had PAINTED fingerboard and poor finish. These Studios in white were the 2 which were horrible - they had black paint over fingerboard and as the rest of the neck is white you could clearly see the wobbly black line meeting white neck and it looked like ----~~--~~~~----- it was ridiculous - and ?799!!! What for?????)
Shall i expect more that that for a kick off? (i hope so!)

thanks guys

My Jimmy Page version has a Duncan '59 in the neck and a Duncan JB in the lead position as per spec. The page has Grover styled Gotohs. The Page has lots more relicing via Page's No. 1 model.

The one you link is very nicely done. The Antiquitys have got to be great sounding. Good luck.
