Used Studios go for cheap, and they are awesome guitars............

Re: Yet another LP question

the faded series of gibsons are great and cheap, if you don't have a lot of dough that is the way to go! [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Greco, Tokai, Orville, and Burny are great guitars. You know, Japanese need their own guitars also, they don't rely on American Stuff.

Re: Yet another LP question

I've owned (and own) a number of Studios, and each one of them was head & shoulders ABOVE the build and play quality of a 2000 LP Classic I bought NEW.

I don't know why Studios get a bad rap - they are just dressed-down Standards. Get a white one - you'll love it! Go for the early to mid 90's as well. Better quality at that time.

Re: Yet another LP question

Cool, thanks for all the info. I found a faded on ebay for less than 600. I'm gonna look into the studio.

Re: Yet another LP question

I have 2 Orvilles...licensed Gibby's.
They are excellent players, and I got them both for the price of one good Gibson. [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

Re: Yet another LP question

Re: Yet another LP question

I have a special (not faded). It is a great guitar 4 the money. Once I got it set up.

Re: Yet another LP question

For the price, I agree.Used Les Paul Special are good guitars.
Also used Gothic Les Paul.I love the way it looks.
I hada Gothic V and played and sounded killer.
If not Gibson, there are many to choose from.
I found this pic of a Les Paul(Gibson) from Les Paul forum, NICE!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The Special series are flat tops. Mine is a MF exclusive Studio vintage mahogany (faded/worn cherry) that's got an archtop... though, it's a mahogany top instead of maple. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
