Standard Plus Honey Burst, & 56 Gold Top compare

BContreras · 06-02-2012, 02:47 PM

Hello, my names Brandon, Im new to MLP and would like some tips and opinions.

Im looking towards buying an Epiphone Les Paul, probably a Standard Plus Honey Burst, there is no guitar store near me so i can only buy online, but i keep finding guitars claiming to be honey burst but the tones look way diferent, i was hoping some of u who own a Honey Burst to post a pic of how it would look in normal day light or indoor light.

Also id like to know your opinion about the 56 Gold top with single coils, and which of these two would u choose (sound wise not looks) and why.

Thanks upfront

Welcome to MLP. Honeyburst finishes can very from light to dark. Here are pics of two. If you're getting an LP Standard Plus top, it will likely look like the first photo.

This is my HB plain top:

The 56 GT's with P-90's are great sounding Gits.

I'm a big fan of the 56GT. I love the sound of P-90s, but they're not for everyone.
