Les paul Standard v. Classic

[paddok]

Is there a differnece between the les paul standard and the les paul classic aside from pickups ?

Im seriously considering getting one, as I have become entirely too sick of floyd rose guitars.

If one planned to swap out pickups, would there be an advantage to going standard over classic ? seeing how classics usually tend to be a bit cheaper.

Re: Les paul Standard v. Classic

i would go for a classic with the 60´s-neck. very nice to play for a les paul.
two friends of mine own a classic and it is a great guitar. i think the standart has a bit higher weight.

Re: Les paul Standard v. Classic

Hrm, I think thats what I was considering. Im so sick of the ****ty locking nut and Jt6 on my jackson.


Are there any other decent string through / stop tail guitars?

the ****ing bolt is stripped on my JT6 so i cant put on new strings, and im debating wether to just buy something new or get a OFR.

what about the early 90's studios with an ebony board ?

Re: Les paul Standard v. Classic

Thats a good idea toejam, just unfortunatly here at college I dont have any plyers.

Im so sick of the floyd, does anybody have any suggestions for guitars other than gibsons that have stoptails ?

Re: Les paul Standard v. Classic

i ordered a RR-5 today with string-through-body.
but this is not lea paul style thing, you know what i mean.
if you want a LP than buy one, if you are only looking for a guitar with stoptailpiece, the go in a shop and look around. there are many guitars without trems. e.g. Jackson, PRS, Gibson, MusicMan, and so on.

Re: Les paul Standard v. Classic

Thing is, im very limited finacially, and would prefer to spend less than 800 or so bucks. Which i know i couldnt do with a les paul.

How are those early 90 studios with the ebony fretboard ? Do they have the tone and feel of a les paul without the razzle dazzle looks ? Or would I forever be stuck knowing im playing the poormans LP.
