Les paul Standard v. Classic

Re: Les paul Standard v. Classic

The older LP Studio models are great guitars. Another option would be to try and find a Yamaha Weddington Custom...I have had mine since '91 and will never part with it. They pop up on ebay and always sell pretty cheap. Ebony boards, Dimarzio p/u's, fully bound body,neck & headstock and beautiful flame or quilt tops...killer guitars.

Jackson made the AT1T for a short time. (someone correct me if I'm wrong) Its bolt on, 22 frets, and has an ebony board. Made in the USA. If you find one it should be around $500 or less. I think they pop up on ebay every once in a while.

I just traded for an 83 les paul studio in TV yellow and it has the les paul tone and vibe and weighs in at 8lbs.The dealer was asking 700.00 but I would have nocked 100.00 off for the condition (lots of buckle rash and finish checking which I like).So check out your local mom and pop music stores and I know you'll find something.Consider an import jackson stealth HX 3 hums tun-o-matic strung thru the body a totally BAD A$$ guitar.You can find em for around 250.00.
