Little Jerry Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Last December my son and I were in our local GC when I picked up a 2018 Gibson Les Paul Standard and started noodling on it. I loved the feel in my hand, particularly the upper fret access, which I find difficult with my Gibson Les Paul Standard. I posted a thread here about 2017 vs 2018 Standards and most people suggested the 2017 due to the Classic 57 pups. I was lucky and found 2017 and 2018 SG Standards at a SA store and played them side by side through a Hot Rod Deluxe, which we own at home. I must admit, I liked the Classic 57 pups. On the margin, they sounded a bit more aggressive when driven and also cleaned up nicely. I went home and thought about it, but when I finally got decided to jump in, it seemed all the new 2017 Gibson SG Standard T's were gone in local stores and online. I started looking for used one's, but found them to be a bit too pricey with many sellers asking near or more than new ones had sold for just a few months before. To make a long story short, all the stars finally lined up and a found a 2017 Gibson SG Standard in great condition in the color I wanted at a great price and at a big discount to what most sellers are asking on the various aftermarket websites. Here she is. Ain't she pretty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you love when that happens? That's barely a burst but still a beauty. Fretboard looks like ebony. Major congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
