    I finally made up my mind to get a real Les Paul. I searched all the websites including guitar center and found a 2018 Les Paul Standard, Heritage Cherry burst with a killer top. I was going to get a 2019 Standard but I decided on a used one. I am so glad I made that decision because the 2018 Standard's have all the right improvements. I wasn't aware of that until I took delivery of the guitar. It was much cheaper than the 2019 standard so it was win-win for me! I couldn't be happier with this guitar or Guitar Center for hooking me up. Best money I ever spent.

  • Love it.

    I've dreamed of owning a Gibson Les Paul Standard with a carved maple top. The quality of the fit and finish is superb. The dual radius fretboard feels excellent!!! This Axe has it all. Just buy it, you won't regret it.

    Holy cow! I just brought home a mojave burst today and it may be the best guitar ever made. I have a Mexican strat & tele that I once thought were the best instruments ever. I didn't know that this level of joy would exist. Sounds are awesome - even on my small combo amp. I'm not great, but after playing this for an hour - I expect gnr to call me whenever slash is down. You won't go wrong with one of these. Just hide the wife & children because groupies are bound to be at your door within minutes of your first power chords.

    Hello, I am interested in buying the Les Paul Standard 2018 Electric Guitar, although in pictures it does not appears with pickguard, is it possible to include the pickguard with this model? Thanks for your answer. Walter C.

    The guitars we sell are in box so we couldn't add the pickguard and ship it to you but if you order it you can bring it to a local store and they should be able to get that added on for you.
