2005 control plates??

[paradox]

Anyone have a 05 standard and notice that the control plate is the smaller one, normally just used on the 61 RI?  I've never seen the small ones on a standard, is this a permanent change or just the Gibson - we use what we got kinda thing.  I know its the small stuff that gets to me... Does this slightly alter the knob positions?

Check out the pics of the 05 on ebay (fourth down on right):

it used to be, that Gibson only routed out enough to cram the controls in, so the cover didn't need to be as large
. . . then they started just making a big freakin cavity . . . presumably to make it easier to work with
I wonder if they've started doing it the old-fashioned way? I'd like to see under that cover!

maybe they have gone to mini micro body pots!

but the smaller route is STRONGER, as the large route and a smack on the lower front of the guitar can crack the body
