I just bought a new Les Paul Traditional Plus Lightburst and I absolutely love it!!!! I tried a 57 reissue, 58 reissue, 08 Standard and 3 different Traditional Plus' b/f I took this one home. I thought this traditional sounded better and played better than the 57 and 58, believe it or not. I really liked the 08 Standard, but for the price, the Traditional was the way to go. Really the only thing that I liked better about the 08 Standard were the Burstbucker Pro pickups. They had a little bit more bite than the 57's, but that is something that can be changed out if need be. The 08 Standard is a great guitar, even though it is chambered. I really liked it, but the Traditional played just as good. The main factor that made me lean towards the Traditional was the price (about $400 cheaper!!) and that it felt like a better built instrument. Les Pauls' are supposed to be heavy in my book. It all boils down to the player and what is important to you. If you plug it in, it sounds good, feels good and you have the cash to drop, then go for it. In my opinion, go play the Standard and Traditional. Figure out what you like and dislike about both, and then make your decision. In my opinon, both are badass guitars and either way, you cant go wrong!!!! Ive been gigging for about 18 yrs and I have played some nice Les Pauls. These two are both killer guitars. Hope this helps.....
