Rabs Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Huh? So how are these different to the last HPs? From what I can tell different pickups and tops... Why?? SG $2,399 http://www.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/2018/USA/SG-Standard-HP-II-2018.aspx The SG Standard HP-II is a classic SG double-cutaway style guitar with the new twist of an elegant AA figured maple top added to the traditional solid-mahogany body and neck. Featuring advanced materials including titanium adjustable zero fret nut and bridge saddles for improved performance, frets over binding, soloist neck width, and fast-access heel. Immense tones are driven by two humbucking pickups with DIP switch and 2 push-pull top hats, appointed with eye-catching chrome knobs. A slightly thicker body provides for more precise weight offset and overall improved balance in the guitar. LP $3,699 http://www.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/2018/USA/Les-Paul-Standard-HP-II-2018.aspx The Les Paul Standard HP-II retains popular features, including comfortable asymmetrical Slim Taper neck profile, while enhancing the experience with upgraded takes on the hallowed PAF humbucking pickups and a AAA+ figured maple top with high-end appointments. The HP-II model delivers cutting-edge innovations for the forward-looking player including Ultra-Modern weight relief with belly scarf, fast-access heel, soloist neck width, and titanium adjustable zero-fret nut and saddles. Exceptional sonic tonal variety provided by 4 push-pull pots with DIP switch for over 150 reversible instant rewiring options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megafrog Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 They got rid of the GForce on them and went with locking tuners. That should decrease the price not raise it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 The standard range looks terrible again this year. I have no idea who they’re aiming for but it all looks so tacky and/or stupidly overpriced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 They got rid of the GForce on them and went with locking tuners. That should decrease the price not raise it. Go back to manual tuning! I not sure I remember how now :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krock Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I feel like the big companies have a quota as to how many new releases they need to do each year. With these its basically as little as they can change, but just enough to differentiate it as an 'upgrade' on the previous version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
