How does it feel with the wraparound tailpiece ? Does it play in tune up the neck ? Sure is a pretty guitar. Allways wanted one, since the cover on "Blow by Blow"..

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I thougt humbuckers were invented later than 1954 and first used in 1957. How come the 1954 Oxblood comes with humbuckers. Was it not actually a real LP from 1954 but a new humbucker version of the 1954 gold top?

Looks like it was literally a recreation of Beck's "Blow by Blow" Paul, which was modified with 'buckers.
