[Les Paul Classic Antique Club]

Time for a stupid question... what model is it that has the old script logo on the headstock? I thought it was the Classic Antique' date=' but no one else seems to be posting one.

 

I'd like to find one of those someday when I finally decide I should have a Les Paul... every time I do, I don't have the money for it (like right now), and when I have the money I want something else.[/quote']

 

As an addendum to my post above, here is the official link:

Nice Flame on that Fireburst gromaj. Are you the proud owner?

 

Thanks, it is mine. The flame just happened to be captured well in the photo (it does not jump out as much in person). Mine was produced on 1-8-07.

Congrats Fast Ferry!

Fast Ferry, one of the main differences between the stock Classics, Classic Antiques, and Standards is the pickups. Respectively, they are as follows: 496R/500T (Classics), 57/57+ (Classic Antiques), and Burstbucker Pros (Standards). As far as aesthetics, most of the recent Classics will tend to be plaintops whereas the Classic Antiques and Standards have flame maple tops. All three have binding on the top and fretboard, but the Classic Antique takes it around the headstock as well.

 

Here's another shot of a Classic Antique - Fireburst. Good luck in your hunt.
