zZounds Gear Experts Say...
AA figured Maple top. 60's style with fast, thin neck.

Guitar legend Les Paul and Gibson teamed up in 1952 to produce the guitar that set the standard for solidbody electrics. The 2002 Standard sports the smaller, vintage style headstock and plastic "keystone" tuner buttons and is available with a "fat," rounded 50's style neck or a "fast," slim taper 60's style neck.

The Standard is outfitted with the new Burstbucker V pickups with Alnico V magnets producing slightly more output than any previous Standard pickups with more bite and a seductive "airy" tone with both pickups on.

The Les Paul Standard is still the Industry Standard Now available with Desertburst, Honeyburst, Lightburst, Trans Amber, Wine Red, and Heritage Cherry Sunburst finishes. Features smaller, vintage style headstock and plastic "keystone" tuners.

"Meet the new Gibson Les Paul"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I will probably keep this guitar forever. When I do buy another guitar, it will be another Les Paul.
Sound
NOTHING sounds like a Gibson Les Paul. I play every style of music; rock, blues, jazz, heavy metal, and this guitar handles it all!
Features
This guitar comes with a hard shell Gibson USA case. The guitar itself is equipped with 2 volume and 2 tone controls, as well as a 3 way toggle switch for pickup selection.
Ease of Use
I use this guitar through a Marshall JCM 900 on stage and a Roland Micro Cube at home. Of course, it is a Les Paul...it sounds great through everything.
Quality
The Les Pauls of the past went out of tune easily, and weren't set up very well from the factory. The new Standard is equipped with Grover locking tuners, which hold the guitar in tune perfectly. I haven't had to do any modifications to this guitar, it played perfect straight from the factory.
Value
This is an expensive guitar! I payed $2,600 for mine. But, you will not get that Gibson sound from any other guitar. You can get a Fender Stratocaster for $999, and it will sound great, but it will not sound like a Gibson. The Les Paul is worth the extra money without a doubt.
