I don't understand why the LP Studio has binding & trap inlays? The whole "studio" thing was meant to be that it didn't look flash, but had all the components to make it sound like a Standard, you know, in the studio...??

Probably to streamline production by using the same neck for all the versions.

That being the ubiquitous slim taper neck that’s an euphemism for marmite.

The Junior dc looks great. Brilliant price too

Everyone who got an R8 for £2500 made the right decision. Those Les Paul prices are way too much.

Agreed .. Andertons have a black and chrome Studio for sale at £1,399 .... I bought a similar guitar new (with a proper ebony board) for £650 new .. :-)

New prices are crazy .. the value of the pound probably doesn't help.

The Tributes are now £300-400 more than 2016/17...
