Thanks, I'm actually tossing it up between this and an epi lp standard plus top with the flame and coil-split. The LPJ is about as far as my budget can stretch as I am just a hobbyist guitar player :)

Thanks for the info, yeah I like both this and the epiphone plus tops. If I end up going for this one I want to coil-split it too, I'm not too sure how much more that will cost. As you say it is cheaper material than the LP standard, but still likely better than the epiphone.

Hi, I have seen the new LPJ 2013s and am wondering what are the big differences between these and a LP standard. I understand the price jump is partially due to the lackering and finish on the standard, as well as the AAA maple top - all which cost $$. But what about the mahogany that the body is made from, is the standard one or two pieces of wood? Is the LPJ multiple pieces? and is the mahogany of the same quality as the standards, or more similar to that of an epiphone? Thanks
