The 2016 Les Paul Standard is a higher level model and newer. So, if it is just between that and all other items are equal (condition, both come with HSC, bone stock, etc.) the Standard is an easy decision. And I say that as a Trad Pro owner who loves his Trad Pro.

Buckethead is a trippy dude. Stellar guitar playing but with almost a scary movie serial-killer persona. John 5 too -- I have seen him live. Very talented.

To all ... thanks for the nice words. I appreciate it. I will post some new pics of my 79 SG Standard when I can get around to it -- that is a pretty cool guitar. And maybe some of my non-Gibsons at some point also.

Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous
Funny, I was just about to call out the guitar-slinging Thin Lizzy ... awesome.
Someone else mentioned fellow Irish mafia member Rory Gallagher. I recently discovered "Notes from San Francisco" which is (side 1) an album he came to San Francisco to record but never released, and (side 2) a live set from his time in San Francisco. Very cool stuff.

I have never posted a picture of my Les Paul here. I kinda think I am a bit overdue to do so ... so here goes
2010 Gibson Les Paul Standard Traditional Pro -- I believe after 2011, the word "Standard" was dropped from the Trad Pro official model name.
It was purchased on 12/26/2010 brand new, the day after Christmas. My wife bought me a red Ibanez that I was not that crazy about, so we went to Guitar Center to exchange it. They had just put this guitar out (no one had played it). I bonded with it instantly, and actually liked it over the Standard that was $400 more (plus got an additional $100 discount). I was not familiar withe Trad Pro model, but instantly fell in love with its features. It is a really fabulous-playing guitar ... magical.
- BurstBucker 3 and '57 Classic pickups with coil splits (uncovered zebras; I know a lot of people aren't crazy about zebras, but I always liked that look)
- Neck is solid mahogany with '60s profile, grade-A rosewood fingerboard (traditional truss rod) and a Corian nut
- Grover locking tuners
- Antique binding, period-correct pickguard, vintage Gibson top-hat knobs, and MoP Gibson logo
- Mahogany body with a plain maple cap (top is finished in high-gloss lacquer, while the back, sides, and neck have a satin finish)
- Weight relieved (not chambered)
- PLEK setup and standard hardshell snakeskin case

I lived in the Bay Area for about 25 years, they came to me, especially since they also lived there.
Yeah, me too. Considering I saw just about everybody else, it is almost a bit odd that I never saw the Dead. I wanted to even besides the fact I was not a big fan of them. I regret not seeing them just once considering my access to them -- they were effectively my neighbors after all (LOL). Not a Zappa fan at all ... no regret there at all; you can keep it.
As for those long lost musical gems, I agree with the OP on the Stones. Everything from '69 (Let It Bleed) to 1974 was really amazing. ... what a run of musical greatness.
But how about some love for Blue Oyster Cult? What a great band ... I was just listening to this ...

A real key here is the Our Father prayer which -- per the new testament -- came from Jesus himself. The last line is very telling: "... deliver us from evil". That makes it very clear ... there is evil on the other side that is best avoided at the very least. So there is something to definitely fear. Actions are important. There are ten rules (i.e., commandments) that we are supposed to be living by -- a very sound list, by the way, that stands up strongly to this day (which almost is proof positive that a human could not have written it especially considering its age; otherwise there would have been something about goats in it or something else stupid). Even most atheists abide by those rules. And if you are following the rules -- mostly -- and have been known to do things in this life to help people when you don't have to, you have nothing to fear. But ... if you are a serial thief, murderer, adulterer, etc., ... well ... let's just say that you may want to wear shorts and a tank top for your transition ...
Since it's holy week and Easter weekend, maybe this is not the worst time to actually consider what Jesus was actually asking us to do ... Hmmm ...

How about play the entire Seconds Out album ?
I agree ... The problem is that their post-Duke fans are gone, but that is who they cater to because that is where all the hits are. Unlike the "true" Genesis fans want to hear pre-Duke material. "Dance On A Volcano" is the perfect apocalyptic epithet ...

There were SG Standards made with faded finishes. I am not the expert in what was made year by year, but there is nothing that jumps out out at me as being wrong. That being said, there are much smarter fellows in these forums about such things than me.

The incredibly obvious choice ... REM's "It's The End Of The World"

A lot of 80s keyboard-era RUSH ... I love it, and don't care what you think (LOL)

Not sure this counts, but ... I should have bought a 1979 Les Paul KM while it was still brand new and in my hands. Fabulous guitar.
And ... I never should have sold my 1989 Mazda RX-7 Turbo II (just like this one except this one pictured has some ungodly modification to the - otherwise - beautiful stock rims):

... My first Les Paul was a 1968 that I bought in 1970 and I played it a lot through the early 90s, so over 20 years. It never showed any finish wear on the neck ...
Same for my '79 SG Standard ... I played that guitar hard for decades. I always took really good care of it, but I played the absolute snot out of it. The back of the neck is just like it always was, and it never needed a refret either. Fabulous guitar, btw ...

No hate here. I like it, bro. It seems like black and natural would be especially good looking. 😁

That truss-rod cover is a bit concerning too, right? I don't remember Gibson ever doing that. But maybe the original owner changed it out for an aftermarket?

Ahhh, the L6-S ... My keyboardist had a 1970s vintage one, so I played one quite a bit. Nicely made, but my compliments for the guitar abruptly and firmly end there ... which is the same for my contributions to this post. I don't want to be the "wet towel" on all the L6-S love in this thread. Post complete.

Misheard lyrics are the best ones.
Not for me ... they can ruin some great music for me, by making me think of other dumb lyrics when I hear it. I am not even looking!

I'm so skeptical of phony scam solicitations in the Mail or Online that I haven't opened it.. How do you know when it's not a Scam?
If your on the www.2020census.gov website, then it is not a scam.
The thing is that if you don't respond, then they kill you with repeat mailings and THEN start coming to your door. No thank you -- fill it out on line, and just be done (for me anyway).

To my ears David Coverdale's voice is more bluesy than during the 1970's and 1980's. No wonder given the reason for this song though.
I liked Coverdale in Deep Purple ...

Worked half a day (from home, though) on yet another Saturday that I should have fully off, unfortunately ..

I am a little surprised about changing pickups in a guitar like that. To me, honestly, you may even want to consider just selling it. There is a lot going on electronically in it. If you do decide to sell it later on, buyers won't pay as much for an altered guitar as they would an unaltered one. Just a thought ...
traditional vs standard

Yes ... A Gibson Les Paul Standard can save your life, bro. Nicely done.
