OK, so I know this isn't a very LP-centric site, but I thought I'd throw this out to see what happens. I've built a non-chambered Les Paul Standard from a kit, using quality stuff like Alpha, Gotoh, Kluson and Sprague. Pups are Stewart McDonald Golden Age HB, 9K bridge and 8K neck. Set up to Gibson specs. Finished in nitro lacquer with multiple, hand-polished amber-tinted clearcoats. All mahogany & maple, no cheap stuff. No scratches, dings or rash.
I'd like to trade it for the best Jazzmaster I can get, including Squire Vintage Modifieds, as long as it has JM pickups and trem. Maybe someone has a spare one collecting dust?...
Here's some photos of the LP; Gold top with Heritage Cherry back:
