[FONT=&quot]I am a new member and need help with a decision I am trying to make.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]After perusing many many ads here in S. Cal. I went and looked at 2 guitars, Sorry I tried several ways to add pics, but I'm not that smart. [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Both guitars are in like new flawless condition[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Guitar number 1 2010 Les Paul Standard ($1500) (yellow) push pull coils/ locking tuners / strap locks[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Guitar number 2 2015 Les Paul Traditional Pro 2 ($1350)(red)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I played both guitars briefly, and I have only been playing for 7 months, I could not tell a big difference in the way they play, and I believe they both have the same neck, (not sure) but that is not a big deal to me as I haven't been playing long enough to really know the difference. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I like both equally and money is not a problem, so the one thing I might care more about is resale value if I decide I want something else down the road. Also whichever I buy I will consider putting a bigsby on if that matters. So 2 questions. Which would you buy given the choice? and which do you think is the better bargain. [/FONT]

I would probably lean towards the Standard, but ultimately it's your decision. Is one more comfortable?
meaning a bit lighter? If you do add a Bigsby, you can use the "Vibramate" mounting kit so you can take
it off or on, whichever you choose. It's just one of those cases where one should feel better to you.
Good luck.

Tough choice. Go for the one that tugs at you. Price is too close for that to be a consideration. Every being equal (and it never is) I'd be inclined toward the Standard. Probably better reseal value if that matters. At the end of the day it's about tone and fell, IMO.

If the 15 has the hand scribbled les paul logo headstock it will probably make it worth less on the resale side. With 15 being so universally unpopular it's an instant pass for some people while searching for a LP.
