The AAA Standard has a neck which is a cross between a Historic R0 and the early 60's 335 guitars had.
They cannot hide flaws in the wood on a blonde guitar, which is why I only have blondes at this time. You have excellent taste in guitars in any case. I realize that these are a bit pricey compared to the $1599 they ask for the Studio PP, but the two guitars, although quite similar looking, can not be compared to each other. The LP AAA Standard has a similar looking neck. If you want to see somewhat how the neck looks, as they don't really show a picture of it, bring up the SG Select and check out the neck. They all need to be set up and played until they are broken in and play smoothly. They never come set up to your personal taste, so don't expect it to play as you like right out of the box. If you can do that, you will get a better idea of how good the guitar actually is. I also know how to set up my own guitars, and this makes a difference as well. Just so long as you are happy with your purchase, that is all that matters. We are talking minute differences here, so you may not notice certain things about the guitar that I do.
Luckily for me, our local store had a few, which really is rare with these guitars and I got a tremendous sounding and playing one. If you choose one of these and it does not meet your standards, you can always send it back and request another one to be sent. Now this is only my opinion, but I've been playing for 52 years and can pick great sounding guitars. And I hand picked all of my Historic LP's. I have owned many Historic LP's and other custom shop Gibsons and out of them all, my bandmates all tell me that this guitar makes the others sound terrible by comparison. You will find this to be the best sounding LP ever, at least I did. If you can afford to try one, go to MF's site and bring the AAA Standard up. I played a few that our store got in and chose the one that everybody who worked there fell in love with out of the few I played. The difference in tone is due mainly to the maple neck and affords a cleaner, purer tonality that captures many tones the mahogany neck LP's cannot duplicate. I used it for about 2 months, and would still have it today except the local GC got in several Les Paul AAA Standards which is a GC/MF exclusive of which only 400 were made.īasically, it is the same looking guitar as the Studio PP, but is a LP Standard done in blonde with a flame maple neck. Mine was simply wonderful in weight, neck carve, tone and looks. It was a great guitar, but like any guitar, you need to play a few until you find the one that speaks to you. I had that exact guitar up until August of this year.
