guitarmanjt Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I've played four different amazing setups at my local Guitar Center. Les Paul Classic (through a Marshall JVM410H) Les Paul Axcess (through an Egnated Tourmaster Combo) Les Paul Traditional Pro (through a Blackstar HT-5. I now own that amp and I need a better guitar. I don't have a gibson.........yet) Les Paul Studio modded with Vintage Voicings (such as Bumble Bee Capacitors)(through a Blackstar HT-5) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucketbot Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I tend to say custom because the playability and comfort seem superior. And the sound made lifting wigs. Tend to agree....having sold my Heritage Cherry Standard to buy a 57 VOS Custom. Prinicipally for me because there is no comparison between the qulaity of the neck particulary with respect to the fretting. The guitar really is aptly described as "The Fretless wonder" IMO.

Alekseriator Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 hey guys yesterday i got to play a Les Paul Standard Plus 50'Neck Cherry Sunburst. It was pretty cool but i was playing through Marshal Mg amp and sound was a bit weird but ok. It feels small though after my cheap 24 frets Cort X-1. but i liked it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amped Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Standards are a great guitar, and my 05 faded i just picked up is treating me good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Arcadius Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Many people in this thread (and elsewhere...) who have played / owned both Standards & Customs claim that the Customs are the the most comfortable AND also the best sounding guitars between the 2. Interesting... I was alwasy under the impression that only minor details separated the both but it seems that the price difference is well justified. Perhaps I will be able to afford one, someday...

scottkernperry Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 What do u reckon? I was lucky enough to just get a figured-top 2008,without the cicuit board electronics gargage,etc. It's the Standard that is really traditional,without the strap locks,tone-pros, locking input jack- a real flamed-out standard! If you want to put on strap-locks after the fact, that's a no brainer. B ut why mess with a guitar that has done the job, and made history for decades! That's like painting a beauty-mark on the Mona Lisa! I'm just glad I got one of the last "original" Standards", and whoever is happy with the new "Traditional", more power to them.

I think you nailed it because there's not a lot of differences between them. Except price, which is a BIG difference! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
