I am not a novice either. At this stage, the consideration of buying a piano should not stay in the appearance stage.
If I need ACDC timbre, will I buy a record? If I need the voice of GNR, will I buy SG?
Of course, you have used everything you like.
Ha ha. So let's start with the real music needs.
As for the difference between LP and SG, you probably said it. There is no piano that has risen to this level, only the style gap. These two pianos are also classic things.
LP level (price) is in turn
Les paul classic
Les Paul standard
Les paul super me
Les paul customs
SG level
SG standard
SG 6 1
SG super me
I won't talk about some famous models. Each tone of these pianos is slightly different. But it's mainly that voice. No one can help you choose the details, just like it. After all, they are all good pianos.
I don't know which city you are in. Many major instruments customized by Gibson les paul are on sale.
As for fakes, just look at other things he sells. . There are more than n fake pianos in his musical instrument store. Can his custom be true?
In fact, the easiest thing is to go to a famous musical instrument store.
