  • Help me choose a Gibson

    Well earlier this year, I sold both of my Epiphone Les Pauls and bought my Gibson SG to use in my metal band instead, but now I more and more start to miss that familiar feel of a Lester and the wider neck profile of my SG is making some of the riffs in our songs kinda Challenging to play.

    So I'm considering to trade my SG in for a Gibson Les Paul. So I contacted my local shop and they told me that my SG would fetch a nice trade price (it's in dead mint condition) and that they have Two Gibson Lesters that I could trade it in for. They are:


    An Ebony Les Paul Studio

    And

    A sunburst Les Paul Studio double cutaway.

    Further Gibsons they had were a truck load of faded Flying V guitars which were going away for bottom prices and a second hand Firebird Studio model. I am no Flying V kind of guy so that one is already off the list.

    So what do you guys say, which one should I go for?

                Id go the Les Paul Double Cutaway studio on the fact it has 24 frets. BE SURE TO PLAY IT FIRST! Most Gibson Studio guitars Ive played have been pretty uninspiring playing instruments.

                          Black studio? NO WAY! Black finish sucks if you care about it's looks, I mean, you'll see ALL of the pick marks, scratches, sweat marks, etc etc. Plus it looks "common".

                          The sunburst finish looks far more "different", plus the cutaway gives it a touch of difference as well, difference being COOL.

                          It all depends, because as for sounds they should sound exactly the same.

                            Yeah, I'm sure a slightly thinner body, double-cutaway, 24-fret guitar with wrap-around tailpiece will sound exactly the same.
                            I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.

                              Of course it will. I mean, SOUND. Maybe 24 frets or the wrap around bridge will "feel" different (24 frets it's a plus IMO), but in terms of sound? I don't think so. I mean, if adding a slab of flamed maple to a mahogany body won't do "much", I don't think that a slightly thinner body will do anything.
