ant7629 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Hey guys Just thought I would wish myself HNGD and share these pics with you. Picked it up today, 2007 LP Standard. Had to change strings/intonation/action etc (came with 8's on it!!), but its playing wonderfully now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to my 08 standard, there are big differences. The main one being weight, the 07 is much heavier. Also, withe the tone, the 08 is quite a bit brighter and has more of an older sound... If that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ant7629 Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 Yeah, I wasn't happy with the 8's ..... I use 11's on my les pauls. It still astounds me the difference a heavier gauge can make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canon_mutant Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 No way. Don't cover any of that top +1 . . . almost looks like a standard plus top. Not sure I've seen a standard with that much candy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant7629 Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 +1 . . . almost looks like a standard plus top. Not sure I've seen a standard with that much candy. This may sound like a dumb question, but how do I know if it is a plus top? I bought it used and it was described as a standard.... When did they stop making the plus top?

LPDEN Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Nice addition, congrats! To P/G or not P/G, the ever recurring question. And the answer is it comes down to your own tastes really. I like the traditional look of a P/G as well as have come to expect one there in "feel" when I play my LP's. Again, a personal choice. If you have to fit new screws to install it, then dem00n's suggestion of a screw-less P/G is good advice if making new holes makes you faint of heart to intrude on the finish...
