Les Paul Standard Traditional??

[rastaman]

What's the deal, I saw what I thought were Standards in GC that said Traditional on the head stock. What's the deal? I thought a Standard was a Standard, what's the difference between a regular Standard and a Traditional?

I believe the way they are weight relieved.

The Les Paul Standard is actually called the 2008 Les Paul Standard. It has burstbucker pro pups, locking neutrik jack, locking grover tuners, and a chambered body.

The Les Paul Standard Traditional has a '57 Classic Plus humbucker bridge pup, a '57 Classic humbucker neck pup, TonePros Kluson-style tuners, and is non-chambered weight-relieved. The Les Paul Standard Traditional Plus is a figured Les Paul Standard Traditional.

The Les Paul Standard Traditional Pro has potted BurstBucker 3 humbucker with coil-splitting bridge pup, an '57 Classic with coil-splitting neck pup, 2 volumes with push/pull coil-splitting, Grover Locking tuners, and is non-chambered.

"Taking design and visual cues from the Les Pauls of the ’80s and '90s, the Les Paul Traditional features a non-chambered mahogany body, BurstBucker 3 and '57 Classic pickups with coil-splitting, '60s neck profile, Grover locking tuners, antique binding, period-correct pickguard, vintage Gibson top hat knobs and the revolutionary Plek set up"
