@@scottlaurenceguitarist I think the older the better. Mine is a 2001, but I have played several Classics ranging from 1999-2007 that were all great. Gibsons quality wasn’t known to be great around 2015 when they started putting robot tuners and zero brass nuts on some guitars. I think the current models have been getting better again from what I’ve seen. I help out at a small guitar shop and the owner tries to find good deals on these older models to get for our shop. This one came in and I fell in love with it which is why I got it. 😀
@@jvstrat1 great info. Thanks. I’m in the market for a lp but don’t know which one. Not comfortable going from store to store to try them. Would love to have someone look out for me, like that shop owner, for the good ones. What’s the best way to keep in contact with you in case you hear of a good deal on a great lp?
@@scottlaurenceguitarist look up Music 49 in Concord NC on Facebook. That’s my friend’s shop I help at. We don’t have any Les Pauls currently, but you never know what can come in. We also build our own guitars. We made me a really awesome singlecut style guitar. You can see it on one of my videos I demoed a Bad Cat amp on. Check it out.
Sounds great! Would you recommend this model ?
Yes Les Paul Classics are a great guitar, especially the older ones like mine.
@@jvstrat1 awesome! What are the good years for the classic? And why did you choose the classic over the traditional or standard?
