spiralsurfer Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Hi, I was wondering if anyone here can tell me the difference between a Les Paul Studio Worn Cherry and a Les Paul Special Worn Cherry? The Special I saw has P90 pick ups and looks very similar to the Studio model on the Gibson website, although it has dots on the fretboard rather than trapezoids, and the black scratchplate is flush with the body. I can't find any further information on it anywhere. Just wondering as I saw one in a shop here recently and I can't find any specs or further information after looking for a while on the net. It was advertsied as RRP $2799 (Australian) marked down to $1699, so it seemed like a good buy. I also saw a Studio advertised for a similar price, so I am wondering which is the better buy, or are they about the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pohatu771 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Now, the Les Paul Special that made it to Australia recently is different than the one in America, but unless they decided to drastically change what a Les Paul Special is: Les Paul Special: Flat-top ("slab") mahogany body two P-90s Les Paul Studio: Carved top mahogany body two humbuckers. Very different instruments. Personally, I'd buy the Les Paul Special, but that's just my taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiralsurfer Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Thanks for your reply. Yes that's the one, that's the Les Paul Special model, flat top mahogany with two P90s. Would you buy the Special purely because of the sound difference of the P90s rather than the humbuckers in the Studio, or is it also a price issue?
