EdTheTrooper Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 What are all the differences between Standard, Standard Plus, Standard Plus Heritage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNick Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Welcome I will try to give it a shot. look at the specs between the two types. Different woods the Maple is more in the Gibson way of building the LP. The Heritage, I believe, is just the cherry finish style on a traditional Gibson LP.

EdTheTrooper Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 Thank you, so the pickups are the same. For what its worth, the sound will be the same right? Im in doubt wich one i bought. I heard that the PLUS is made in Korea, not China. If thats true it definetely worth a 50$ plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I heard that the PLUS is made in Korea, not China. If thats true it definetely worth a 50$ plus. What makes you think that?? The only difference between a Standard Plus Top and a Standard is that the Plus Top has a flame maple veneer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNick Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 The sound is different. You actually have a bit of maple cap on one and solid mahagony on the other. This does create a different tone. Play a Standard and a Plus at a store and you will know right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdTheTrooper Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 This one http://www.musik-schmidt.de/gb-Epiphone-Les-Paul-Standard-Plain-Top-VSB.html It has Alnico V pickups, they are better than the Classic right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdTheTrooper Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 I just cant understand the difference in prices here: http://www.woodbrass.com/epiphone-les-paul-standard-plus-vintage-sunburst-accastillage-chrome-p25830.html http://www.woodbrass.com/epiphone-les-paul-standard-plaintop-vintage-sunburst-p31166.html http://www.woodbrass.com/product_info.php?products_id=25088 http://www.essemusic.it/dettaglio_articolo.php?cod=9872260&cat=193557 http://www.musik-schmidt.de/gb-Epiphone-Les-Paul-Standard-Plain-Top-VSB.html Im thinking about buying the one from the last link, just because i like this color more. What you guys think? And thx for the answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNick Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 The Alnico V pickups just relate to the magnets used in the pickups. The others differ in material used and finish. Ya I know does not seem right but that's what they do. The price of a product in a store is up to the store owner. The VBS top is a classic color finish. Looks good always.

EdTheTrooper Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Ill just buy by the looks then. I really liked the honey sunburst models x) Thx very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpruceTop Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I took a look at the pickup routes in my '09 Epi LP Std when I changed the pickups. It looked like the maple top was only a thin veneer. As if it was an all mahogany body with a "for show" top - even though it's plain. Any body know if that is true?

SNick Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 It appears as if the only difference is the added bindings and a bit better looking finish. Thats what I got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
