My daughter got her bumblebee telecaster today.  She was stoked, and so was I.

Has anyone played a Les Paul Traditional Pro V? It's a Guitar Center exclusive. Really digging the plain top look, especially with a satin finish.

Hard to find a good comparison against a LP Classic.

GC has it on sale now - $400 off regular $1999 price. It's still not cheap, but in this price range, I might consider it over a Tokai.

The only one I played was a dog. Bought it cheap locally, used every trick I know to get it to play half decent, and was happy to be rid of it when it sold on Reverb.

Every LP Traditional I've played has been a pleasure, the Traditional Pro not so much.

Bought a used 1960's Les Paul Tribute honey burst thanks to the advice of this board a few years ago.  Solid instrument.  $700 used.  You might look in that direction.  

 

I'm looking for a used Epiphone Riviera in burgundy for my husband.  Christmas gift.  He doesn't like new instruments, which would normally be a win for me.  This is a tough one.  I'm trying to keep it under $600.  Any help is appreciated.

There's a few on reverb. Also use the search function on the used Guitar Center site. Avoid the 3 pickup versions.

Ok got a noob question. Would you rather get a $500-$700 Epiphone LP or a Gibson LP around the same price? From what I’ve seen/heard the higher priced Epi’s seem to play and sound better than the lower priced Gibsons. Or at least good enough for my novice ass. 
 

also been checking on the PRS SE 245’s. I like those a lot too. 
 

don’t think I’ll even think about getting a Squier. Seems like Fender is my only option there. Heard the Fenders are a little “easier” to play compared to the Epi/Gibson. Any truth do that? 

Did you decide on or get the guitar you wanted? Pictures are mandatory.

I dont know much about the Chinese Gretsch's but my impression is that they are junk. A friend ordered a used one from a GC and it arrived with the center block loose and banging around inside. Otherwise i don't think I've ever touched one.

The pro-series Greaches are well built in Japan and usually have a model number beginning with 6 (ie G6120).

That's basically an ES-330, which is the guitar I've let go that I regret the most.  Hollow body plus P90s is the shizzle.

Did y’all just talk jimmyjazz out of buying a guitar?

The fuck is going on here?

looking back at this page, it looks like I talked SuperHero our of a Les Paul at the top of the page, then JimmyJazz out of a Gretsch in the middle, and now Ive discouraged Nole from buying a Martin.

 

I will go and take a time out and think of what I've done and how I can be a better poster going forward. 

 

Seriously though, friends don't let friends buy shitty guitars

Thanks AUTF. I'm still looking for a LP type guitar. I've been on Reverb looking at used Classics and will take a gander at Traditional models.

I've also been eyeing the Tokai LS129 with violin finish.

The Tokai LS129 is the classic Love Rock you know and love with a upgraded Nitro finish with a Canadian maple plain top. 
This new LS129 Nitro is the first new model in the USA Music series and only available through USA Music dealers.
No detail is overlooked thanks to Tokai's legendary quality with vintage inspired features such as top hat bell knobs accompanied by pointers, maple cap, asymmetrical 60's style U shaped neck, brass saddle bridge and PAF-Vintage MK2 pickups.
The LS129 Nitro is the result of over 40 years of refinement and a love of beautiful timbers.

Funny they say available through USA Music Dealers because the only way to buy a new MIJ guitar is through eBay.

I had a Chinese Casino (Goldtop).  It was as cool looking as can be, but it played like a strung up cigar box.  Even after a setup, it wasn't easy to love.  The P90s sounded great plugged straight in to a cranked tweed Bassman, but what doesn't?  Otherwise, it just didn't do it for me.  I finally sold it to Chicago Music Exchange, and I don't miss it one bit. 

I'm sure there are some great Casinos out there, but that's definitely a guitar I'd suggest trying before you buy.
