Would you trade you're 50's tribute Studio for a traditional les paul???

[luis911]

Would you? I have the option of keeping my new Goldtop Studio guitar or getting a brand new traditional les paul...what do you guys think?

 

 

Edit: Oops I said You're instead of your in the title...

I've not played the 50's tribute, but I have played a Traditional, and they are one of my favorite LPs.

 

I'd play them and see which one sounded and played better if it were me.

 

 

Hope this helps :)

Traditional is worth more, and more to my liking.

 

If they are both good players - yes.

[charlie brown]

No brainer, for me..."Traditional!"

[Deacon Blue]

go for the traditional, it will be better in the long run.

[chase1410]

a definite "No-Brainer"

Even if I have to put up an extra 500 dollars??? I havent tried playing a traditional yet...From what I've seen in pictures, traditional s have a very nice and shiny finish.

They also have nice shiny '57 classics and tone and sustain for days.

I didn't buy one of the newest Studio's because after all the hype it's still just a Studio - The Traditional is worth two of the Studio's and doesn't have fake wear and fake mojo so yep no contest.

In that case I'd keep the studio.

[Dub-T-123]

Well if it was a straight trade then it'd be an easy yes for me.

 

But the $500 makes it a little harder. If the Trad is in good condition and you like the way it feels and sounds then I'd say yes.

binding and 57 classics vs no binding and p90s??

 

Personally I would keep the later and spend $500 on more music books and/or a different amp

I agree with Matt on this one.

 

If the current studio feels right in your hands then maybe the extra cash can be well spent on other things including a quality amp.

 

"Your sound" is a 3 part equation.

 

Pickups/ Amp/ and your very own personal Mojo = your sound.

 

In the case "mojo" would be what you personally bring to the instrument. Which to me is most important of all.

 

Clapton sounds like Clapton even if he's playing a $99 guitar through a megaphone.

[Silenced Fred]

With the extra 500 dollars, i don't know. If you like the guitar you have, then keep it. If you want humbuggies, go with the Traditional.

 

Personally, I love P90s and would probably spend the 500 on a good amp (if you don't already have one) or just put that money towards your next new guitar

[mcmurray]

They both came off the same CNC mill, it's not like these things are hand carved anymore.

 

And as Matt said, you won't have P90's with the traditional.

I got my JCA20h and cabinet for $315.

Agreed.

 

Sometimes less is more....or at least...just as much. However, as they say, the Eye (and mind) of the Beholder...
