Feature:
Grover tuners would've been nice. I got them std on my ES335 DOT. I immediately installed the pick guard when I got this guitar. IMO should've been done at the factory. Just doesn't look like an LP without it.

Quality:
AA Premium Flame top? I don't think so. Yeah, there is some flame, but it's hard to notice in certain light. There is also alot of grain running through the wood that detracts from the flame. Might not be so noticeable on the darker colors, but I got Heritage Cherry. The lacquer finish on the other hand is perfect.

Value:
Overall, considering what you get for your money these days, it's a good value.

Desirability:
Who doesn't want one?

Sound:
Had one of these back in 76, which I bought new. Since then have had various others including a PRS which I thought looked great but sounded horrible. I was a little put off by the chambered body/lighter weight design compared to the overweight battle axe I was used to, but when I plugged this in, I couldn't figure out why I ever sold my 76. I love the sound from this guitar.

Ease of Use:
The action out of the box is excellent. THere was no need to adjust anything.

Support:
Don't know haven't ever needed it.

Overall:
If you're going to advertise AA Flame top, you should deliver. Since the beginning, LP's have come with pick guards.

"THE GOD OF ALL GIBSONS"

Feature:
One word- unbelievable. the newer model is much lighter than before, the woods used makes the guitar sound really meaty, there is a volume and tone knob for each humbucker and a 3 way PU selector switch which can be used as a "killswich" if one of the pickups is turned way down, and its a gibson. do the math.

Quality:
ITS A GIBSON!!!

Value:
sure almost 3000$ is a lot, but for what youre getting, its dirt cheap.

Desirability:
its a gibson les paul, the most sought after guitar one the planet.

Sound:
the sound is really smooth and powerful through pretty much any amp out there and has endless sustain. its the best sounding gibson and one of the best sounding guitars in the world, bar none.

Ease of Use:
Its a guitar-it cant be much easier to use, especially with the great feeling neck and fingerboard.

Support:
N/A

Overall:
buy this guitar-you wont regret it.

News

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.
