... and still, you show how little you know.
As far as features the order goes: Jr, Special, Studio, Tribute, Standard, Traditional, historic. All good.
Why are there so many LP Tributes for sale in the used market? When I search for left handed LPs on Ebay or Reverb, a large perecentage of them seem to be Tributes from 2016-2018. When the used market gets flooded with a specific type, makes me want to stay away. Thoughts?
Don't understand English? Wilko didn't say they were built the same, the point is that Gibson's entry level guitars are built to a standard that stands the test of time. Even the lowly bottom of the line tend to be well made and play and perform at pro levels.
For all your bluster it seems you know little about any of these guitars or their construction. Jr - simple slab body, simple box neck joint, fatal flaw in the pre 57 simple bar bridge/pickup location and too short stud bushings, simple electronics and single pickup.
I know. I've owned over two dozen and toured for over 20 years with my favourite, a 57.
Tribute- mahogany body w/bookmatched carved maple top, mortise and tenon neck joint, stop tail and tune a matic bridge, two pickups with 3 way switching and individual volume and tone controls.
Don't chest thump your Jr as better made or anything other than it is and don't try to twist the intent of a post so you can brag on your, ooooo it's a 50's, 'cause a lot of us been done dat and know better. You knew exactly what that post was about.

All the dudes want to upgrade to a LP Standard...sometimes the cheaper model doesn't do the job....:dude:
Just a small correction here, sometime in '56 they corrected the short stud bushing problem and fixed the "post lean" that happens with the short bushings. I had a '56 Junior that had the longer bushings and had no post lean, it was a great Junior and had the best P90 I ever heard.Don't understand English?

They are inexpensive, entry level Les Pauls made in the thousands. Do the math. Lots of cheap guitars equals lots of cheap used guitars, a bounty for budget minded buyers. Easy availability doesn' imply defect or problems.
