Law suit LP finnished Project

- Done deal.
I bought a Korean made lawsuit LP copy a few months back on Ebay. Got it for a decent price, however after I received it I found the neck was cracked at the nut on both sides. That was not listed in the description and did not show up in the pics. I contacted the seller explaining along with pics of the damage that could be clearly seen at the correct angle. The seller actually apologized and we worked out a solution where they refunded enough for a new neck. Although a 70's era guitar, it was relatively clean and I liked the pickups and pots that were in it and figured I only had a neck finish and replacement. I had to do some mods to the new neck. I added two pieces of wood to the heel to have it fit the neck pocket correctly and replaced the plastic nut that came with the new neck with a bone nut. All is well that ends well.

Great looking guitar! It looks very similar to a Memphis LP copy I picked up several years ago.
Is the body hollow plywood under a plywood arch top?
Are the pickups ceramic singles in a slightly smaller than normal humbucker sized housing?

Well, I have not taken the pickups out to see what they are but they sound good. As far as the body goes, observing from the neck pocket, it appears to have some hollow space in there.
