How many plies of glue?

I've discovered another bit that, like the TRC, seems different than "standard" Epiphone - the pickguard is different. Holes don't line up, even with the extras that have been drilled.
Anyone know if it's unique to the CP? Or same as Gibson?
I just know the G & E PGs are not interchangeable.
 
Think I'm gonna keep the box & packing for future shipping needs. These made in USA cardboard boxes are a real find! :roflmao:

Anyone have opinions on these 2016 "T-bird" pickups? Awesome? Paperweights? Meh? Claimed to have come from a (different) Classic Pro.

You can peel off the black plastic and replace it with chrome or nickel covers. I have a couple i didnt use and would send you, except I do not know where I put them.

...the one from Pro V doesn't fit either, but is closer...
Maybe it is a Gibson. The truss rod nut doesn't sound like a Gibson, though. I would have to look to know what nut driver I use to adjust them. On the rare occasions I think it is necessary.
 
So far, from what I can tell:

Gibson pickguard?
Gibson size/shape/hole pattern TRC
Gibson pickups
Gibson size/shape neck, string nut

Epiphone tuners
Epiphone truss rod adjustment
Epiphone bridge stud inserts

Body maybe Epiphone, maybe Gibson, maybe not much difference, if any; not super relevant for my purposes (afaik atm).

Anything I've missed, or gotten wrong? :help:

I've changed my assessment. It's a Gibiphone.:smug:
