wilson<3Gibson Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Hey guys... I'm looking forward to getting a Gibson Les Paul Standard 2011 but I was wondering is there a difference between the ebony LP's and the Bursts LP's because it seems there is like $2k difference... I was wondering why... and also is the 2011 Std better then the 2008 ? I only manage to try a 2011.. couldn't find a 2008... Do give your comments ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 . Welcome. Go to the Gibson LP Standard website and read the MSRPs - http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-USA/2008-Les-Paul-Standard.aspx The solid colors are $3509 MSRP The bursts are $3899 MSRP Let's see . . . . that's a difference of $390. If you're comparing a ebony LP Studio $1799 MSRP, to a Standard LP burst $3899 MSRP you're are correct, but then you would be comparing prices of two different guitars, not two different finishes.

BigKahune Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 . The difference would be the effort/time involved in spraying a burst - takes more time and effort than a solid color. With a see through finish there's also the consideration of the clear maple for the top - and if the maple top is figured (a "plus" top). The burst finish LP Standard has a figured maple top.
