Hey guys...
I have been saving my pennies and have been looking / trying out various Les Pauls for the past 6 months and am now at the point where I would like to buy one.. trouble is there are almost as many Les Pauls as there are arseholes in the world.
I have decided I am getting a LP Standard with a 60's profile neck (thin)... at least that much I know.. no LP Custom or Classic.
Now I have heard good things about the reissues from 2002 onwards, if I want to go new, but that is about $3600 AUD and that seems a little overpriced - especially from a pimply faced kid in our local music store.
Second hand LP Standards are around... e.g. I have found a 1976 Tobacco Sunburst for $2100 AUD.. or a 2002 Heritage Sunburst for $2800 AUD.
I know very little about the older Les Pauls... and you only really know when you actually pick it up and play it anyway. I just want to do as much homework as I can to get the best value for my money.
Any thoughts on best value LPs or even LPs I should steer clear from?...
Cheers!
