Fantastic top on this standard. Hate the unburst finish though. I disagree with your statement on the new standards being the best for the past 20-30 years. The late 90’s to early 2000’s Les Paul standards are much better and have way nicer tops. The new standards still very often have QC issues which is unacceptable for the price. You may have just gotten lucky with this one
I’m just a tad confused. Mine was made 9/7/2023, but bought in 2024. So is it a 2023 or a 2024 lol.
2023. They didn’t make any changes tho
Are you seriously asking that question?
