“Guitar legend Les Paul and Gibson teamed up in 1952 to produce the guitar that set the standard for solidbody electrics. The 2002 Standard sports the smaller, vintage style headstock and plastic 'keystone' tuner buttons and is available with a 'fat,' rounded 50's style neck or a 'fast,' slim taper 60's style neck.
“The Standard is outfitted with the new Burstbucker V pickups with Alnico V magnets producing slightly more output than any previous Standard pickups with more bite and a seductive 'airy' tone with both pickups on.
“The Les Paul Standard is still the industry standard now available with Desertburst, Honeyburst, Lightburst, Trans Amber, Wine Red, and Heritage Cherry Sunburst finishes. Features smaller, vintage style headstock and plastic 'keystone' tuners.”

I traded in my 1973 Les Paul Recording for this in late August 2008. It's not the later 2008 model with the factory issue Dunlop strap locks or the weird output jack or the metal tuning keys or the Plek'd neck, but that's just fine by me. This is the Les Paul I always wanted, going all the way back to the cheap simulacrum that was my very first guitar.
