Gibson Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar

Pros: Ergonomic neck, chambered body.

Cons: Traditionalists may not like the above features.

The Bottom Line:

The 2008 Les Paul Standard is a worthy addition to the LP line.  Good playability, tone and a lighter body for $2500 or so.

Pros: Materials, construction, playability and pure tone!

Cons: High price might turn some people off.

The Bottom Line: You can't beat a classic design for pure tone, playability and good looks!

Review: Prior to a recent trip to New York I did a little research regarding prices of musical instruments. Much to my delight, I noticed that the Euro to Dollar exchange rate was very much in our favour. This advantage, added to the fact that almost everything ...

Pros: Excellent build quality, Beautiful tone and looks

Cons: Not-a-one
