RotcanX Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Careful about the LP Standard... firstly these were introduced in 1952 but the name wasn't applied as such until the seventies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stan 58 Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 I think in "American Guitars" by Tom Wheeler,1958 was the first year the les paul was called the standard model. Great lookin explorer with the black pickguard spud!Stan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me, if the LP Standard was having its 50th anniversary we'd sure as heck know about it; there was some kafuffle to this effect in 2002, including an Epiphone LE which I believe had an image of Les Paul on the backside.

Ricochet Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 That's one classy looking V you got there Stan! Unfortunately I don't have a V or Explorer myself. Here is(once again) my Epiphone LP Standard +, BBQ burst, PG-mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
