2020年4月3日 · There's also a used 50s Standard (2022) on sale at my area. The 50s Standard is 33% more expensive than the Traditional. Reading forums and looking at the specs the two guitars seem very similar: fat neck, same pickups etc. Guess I'll go with the Traditional.

2020年7月26日 · And the flat back of the neck makes it nice to solo on when you drop your thumb down behind the neck more. Overall I would say the 50s is closer to a 1960 Les Paul neck. You can see here an LP Traditional 50s profile, which is the same as the current 50s LP Standard how it compares to historic models:

2020年12月30日 · The CS reissue Les Pauls are closer to the original '1950's Les Pauls then the standard production line LP's are. More attention to the body top carving (although not absolutely spot on), cutaway horn shape, peghead shape and size, plastics, wood quality, etc. There are a lot of differences to a trained eye, not to mention how they play and sound.

2021年5月5日 · I have a 50s standard and I have 3 other Gibsons with 60s slim taper neck profiles. I find the guitars pretty much interchangeable. I think my Eric Johnson has a fatter neck than either. As for the pickups, I didn't play the 60s plugged in. BUT I am shocked at how clear and articulate the burstbuckers are on the 50s standard. Mine is a joy to play.

2020年1月15日 · The 50s and 60s Standards are great guitars, but the Traditionals from previous years are just as good. Try before you buy. At the store when I got my goldtop 50s Standard, I had a 2018 Standard, a 2018 Traditional and a 2019 Traditional all in …

2020年1月15日 · I voted the same, here's why: The 50s and 60s Standards are great guitars, but the Traditionals from previous years are just as good. Try before you buy. At the store when I got my goldtop 50s Standard, I had a 2018 Standard, a 2018 Traditional and a 2019 Traditional all in the runnings. They were all great guitars.

2019年8月6日 · Thread resurrection. So my 2020 Wildwood Select Les Paul Standard 50s is said to have no weight relief - I don't have an x-ray machine, but I'll believe Wildwood which is an awesome store. The top is insane and it is a one-piece mahogany back. Good news is the guitar weighs 9 lbs 1 oz which isn't that heavy in my book for a non weight relieved ...

2021年7月21日 · the worst custom shop, assuming nothing is actually wrong with it, is slightly better than the average 50s standard. a slightly below average custom shop will be better than 9/10ths of 50s standards. 4/10 custom shops will be better than any 50s standard anywhere. 1/20 custom shops will be in a whole different level.

2024年8月15日 · I do own a 2023 les paul special and the neck pocket it completely straight so thats the only reason I am asking. Are all new les paul standards like this or am I being to picky? It plays fine to me, a little stiff compared to the special. …

2023年3月5日 · I own a Standard ‘50s Les Paul Goldtop and it’s one of my favorite guitars. I prefer bigger ‘50s necks but I recently bought a mint condition used Les Paul Classic that I also really like. I’ve owned at least a dozen Gibson Custom Shop guitars and my Standard ‘50s is very close in feel, sound, and quality to the R7’s and R8’s that ...
