thodrik Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I went through a similar process when I was trying out Gibson Les Pauls. The Gibson Les Paul Standard (Traditional) is a really nice guitar but not £2200 good. At this point it is what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that the set up on the Traditional was pretty poor, but in terms of fit and finish they were all pretty good. The Standard for me though did seem to be on another level in terms of quality. I'm sure that if I played about 6 of the same models though there would be probably be a ratio of one gem, one dog and 4 that are 'fine'.

Lozz196 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I had similar when buying a Les Paul Studio a few years back. Tried 3, one sang, the others vomitted. I bought the singer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gthyni Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 The new neck profile and the narrow vintage frets is just what I look for in a Jazz bass. An AMPro Jazz with maple fretboard will probably be my next bass. Just love how it feels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsgbass Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I just acquired an Am. Pro. Fretless Jazz. Even the the new V-Mod pups, the improved tuning keys, and the decal changes, the Am. Std. head top, and the Am. Pro. head bottom, it sounds, and plays the same as the Am. Std. does. And the Pro. costs $150. Buckaroos more.
