'Scales Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 they all sound like they'd be great and should be able to be set up nicely how you want them, ...so if it was me I'd just choose the one I thought looked coolest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really comes down to what you want to spend, if one is a better deal than the others that would be the one to buy. Edited July 22, 2019 by Navy Vet.

That's always the best advice as each guitar even the same model and year is slightly different. If not then as mentioned, by the one you think looks the coolest 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Rick Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 You need to play them. Looking good and playing good are two different things. I had a LP that was hard to play, resulting in much frustration. Sold it and bought a LP Standard HP-II. Wow what a difference, I can't put this guitar down, best I've ever owned! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monch66 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Got a 2017 tribute gold top myself, and I love it, but Capt. Rick is right, playing makes all the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine. See about lowering the bridge and setting the guitar up. Do you do this? There are plenty of online videos to show how. Otherwise, get a tech/luthier to do it for you. I've just seen pictures of your guitar on your other thread. Smart looking Goldtop! Edited August 7, 2019 by merciful-evans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
