Besides, this is just the price in official website. In the hands of mainland dealers, the price will definitely fluctuate. For the same model, dealers will sell different prices according to the grade of veneer. Price fluctuations are obvious, such as diagonal cinnabar.
The price is between 1w8 and 2w4.
In fact, official website in Gibson has always been a mess. Strictly speaking, Gibson LP standard should refer to a series. Because Gibson often makes some changes to the details or configuration of the piano, it is often said that there are 13 and 14 models. I went to official website to have a look at the 1 and 5 of these pianos you listed, which should refer to the standard and tradition of 13.
There won't be much difference between standard and traditional in different years, so don't worry about the year first.
You can narrow down your choices to standard traditional pianos and double diagonal signature pianos first.
In fact, the material grade of the signature piano is the same as that of the standard, but the configuration is made according to the requirements of slash. For example, the pickups of these two pianos are not Gibson's, but slash's signature pickups.
The signature piano does have a certain storage space, but if you use it yourself, I suggest you get to know the signature pianist first and find out if his timbre is what you want. If you don't know anything, it's foolish to buy a signature piano just to preserve the value. . .
Standards and traditions
Actually, it can also be regarded as the same piano. Tradition is actually based on standards, and then I will talk about why there are traditional series.
Standard is Gibson's best-selling series, which means standard, that is to say, this piano is the standard piano type of Gibson guitar, but with the development of the times, this piano will make a series of changes according to the needs of the times, especially after 2008, the standard has undergone some major changes, and we can roughly divide the standards around 2008 into two eras.
Although the new standard was quickly accepted by people, some people still like the old standard.
So with tradition, this series of traditions is tradition.
In other words, the tradition is les paul, which is more traditional than the current standard in process design and some hardware configurations.
To sum up, there is actually no difference between good and bad. At this level, the price/performance ratio is bullshit. Just like a car, let's discuss the cost performance of100,000 to 200,000. But have you ever seen anyone discuss the cost performance of Ferrari and Lamborghini? These pianos are definitely worth the money. As long as you like it, its cost performance is the highest.
