All fine to read, but every guitar is different. I had found my LP at a local Guitar Center in the used guitar section. The flame and dark rosey rosewood fretboard immediately caught my eye. I picked it up to play it, and found it to be amazingly resonant and warm. It also just felt amazing in my hands, compared to my LP Classic. Before walking into GC that day, I would have told you my LP was a great guitar. This one blew it out of the water. Exactly what I was looking for in a LP. I ended up buying it and still love it, today.
It wasn't until doing research on LP's several months later that I read about many people claiming the 2002 Les Paul Standards are viewed in the community as great guitars. It was the year Gibson was celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Les Paul, and apparently there was a huge "back to basics" push on building them, quality of materials/woods, and a focus on quality control like they had been recently lacking.
Much of what I found online were others speaking to the same things about these Standards as I found with mine.
