Henry started making changes the minute he walked in the door, if not before.
Agreed. I finally dug out the book and read that section again. Funny how the "facts" can get confused in one's memory. Regardless, my 1988 LP Standard (Heritage Cherry Sunburst) is a fine guitar. It is the only one I never had any interest in selling.
The 88 was also great but different. You could tell it was different.
I own 4 LPs presently which include two Historics (58 and 59), a 2007 Standard, and a 1994 Standard (all bought new). The 94 is my favorite. Build qualtiy, materials, and sound are all top notch.
Just goes to show how they all vary. My 94 Standard was not as good as my 2004. Plus, I can't get into those flat frets they used then. Mine sounded like cardboard. Glad you got a good one!
Every guitar is different. If you have a good one, then that one is good..... doesn't matter about the year.
My '94 didn't have flat frets. Did you buy yours new or used. Just curious.
Mine was bought used from a friend who had bought it new. He barely played it and it was mint when i got it. The frets were wider, way wider than those on my 2004. In fact, that was part of why I sold it.....hard to get under the strings for bends. My 04 is a dream in that sense. Weird.
I really hate buying LPs online but that is what I am trying to do....buy another LP. I just have a hard time buying another Standard because mine is so nice to me. That is why I have been checking out Studios. But, you say very few LPs locally used.
