Kirk B Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 The OP asked a simple question and a few people answered it, but this thread got high jacked by an argument about weight-relief "tone". Too bad. My 2012 Traditional is better than any Standard I ever had. I thought I wouldn't lIke the 50s neck, but it's the same width at the nut as my 4 60s slim tapers, so it's fine. I say try both -- Standards and Traditionals. Ignore the "weight-relief" "Experts". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, since Gibby is under new management and they are retooled, I could compare the new Standards to the Transitionals of the past and say the new Standards are as good if not better that them. If you haven't played a new Standard yet, ya gotta take a test drive. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
