As a lot of you know I own a Gibson LP Custom and a 2004 Standard. I've been doing a lot of experimenting with both of them recently and I'm a little confused about something.
The Custom physically feels a lot bigger and beefier (it's also sonically far superior with a bigger sound) than the Standard. Are my instincts right in that Gibson have shrunk the size of the bodies of the modern day Standards compared to the older designs used for the Customs and presumably the VOS models?
