A few years ago I bought a 2016 Les Paul Studio HP. I liked it at the time, but never quite clicked with it. Maybe it was the neck shape, hot pickups, plain maple top, or a combo of all three.
I sold it a few months ago, and the search for a new LP began. I looked at the 60s Standards, but didn’t like the slim neck. The 50s Standards? Don’t quite love the Heritage Cherry or Tobacco Burst. Then I ran across this used Slash Standard in November Burst at a local retailer. Love at first site! As soon as I grabbed it and played a little, I was doomed to purchase it.
Only “issues“ are cosmetic: a small ding on the lower bout and the inlays aren’t centered on the fretboard... but it plays beautifully. I own a few Teles (my favorite guitar) and a Strat, but I sure am glad to have a Les Paul back in my collection.
