chrisdove Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 For those not following my other thread a brief run down. About to start learning to play. Looking for my first guitar and decided on the Standard based on responses to my other post. Anyways, ran across a real good deal on a Classic last night and just can't find any information about them. I can get this guitar for $230 with HSC. Had my more experienced cousin examine the guitar for condition and all is well on that end. Tried searching the forums but not alot came up. Basically what differences am I looking at between the 2. Really interested in this guitar, almost wish I would not have found it as I was settled on the Standard. As usual, thanks in advance for the replies and suggestions.

glenn1281733995 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Are you talking about Les Pauls Chris? If so, the classic doesn't have pickup covers and it says "Classic" on the TRC. I think the classic also came in a heritage burst where the standard didnt. I could be wrong on that point however. No other differences (i own both).

The LP Classic is a discontinued guitar, mostly found on Ebay nowdays, I paid $300 for mine a couple of years ago in basically Mint condition. It has a nice, fast slim neck, decent tone from stock pups, and for the $$$$ you'll spend on a FIRST guitar with HSC, can't go wrong if git is in good condition, as your cousin says. CANNOT beat that price with HSC, ESPECIALLY for FIRST guitar!!!! I play my Epi LP Classic about 70% of the time, my Favorite Guitar. Though discontinued, here are some reviews you CAN read... http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Epiphone-Les-Paul-Classic-Quilt-Top?sku=518353 (or you could spend $230 on........)

chrisdove Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 @metal guru - Sorry bout that - it is a LP @animalfarm - Thanks for the advise, researching now on the link given. The Classic looks exactly like the one in this photo except it does not have the pickup covers and it has a pickguard. There are no nicks or dimples on the guitar, a few light scratches on the back when held at the right angle, no visible cracks in the neck. Just like the amp in my other post this is one of those deals where someone owes me money and is wanting to pay it off with this. Thanks for the help guys.................

KX36 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Now that's a pretty guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthemBassMan Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 -Looks a little familiar, doesn't it? I like the slightly darker amber burst on yours compared to mine. I think mine is just a tad too light. L8R, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
