swampash Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I was planning to buy a new Les Paul Standard this coming May. Now I see that they have increased by a huge amount in price to €3,099 here in Europe! This is almost Les Paul Custom price territory and definitely pushes the Standard out of my budget. I'm going to have to consider the Traditional (still a hell of a guitar) or the Classic but i really liked the tonal options with the new Standards with the coil splitting etc.... I looked through the Forum but I haven't seen anyone comment on this. I personally think these prices are nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69tele Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 they are nuts.. might be worthwhile looking to see if any of the 2014/13 models are still available or importing from the US, they are usually cheaper in $$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanHenry Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Yes, the prices is outrageous, £2500 here in the U.K. When you look at some of the Custom guitars available for just a few hundred more {ES models etc) You could always wait until October to December before you make your move, because I have the feeling there might be a lot of 2015 models going cheap then. There are quite a few posts (I know because I started some of them) showing reviews of those 2015 models. Good luck. http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/topic/117768-new-les-paul-reviews/page__p__1600510__fromsearch__1#entry1600510 http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/topic/117796-chappers-and-the-captain-buy-les-pauls/page__p__1601048__fromsearch__1#entry1601048 Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
