Speaking of double cut LPs

[dodgechargerfan]

What exactly am I playing here?
Serious. I don’t know what model this is. It’s my friend’s guitar.
I’d feel silly asking him because I should know.

The LP Special thread made me think of this.

Les Paul Standard Double Cut.

A DC standard. It looks like anyway.

I thought so, too. Then I saw the Classic and now I don’t know.

The Standard would say Standard on the truss rod cover. No?
I’m asking. Not arguing. :P

Classic, Standard, tomato,tomahto

 

[telecaster911]

I don’t know the difference between the classic and standard.

I think it’s the Pro because of the inlay on the headstock.

Did not know there was a Pro until I started down this rabbit hole.
Thanks for tagging along. You know the way back out. Right?

Standard was standard, classic was made with hide glue or something...yadda yadda yadda...

It looks like a LP Classic DC except for the unbound neck. I’m not sure if they ever did those w/o a bound neck. Otherwise, the flame maple bound top, trap inlays, amber knobbies, and potted plant HS inlay are all elements of that model. I think you’re right and it’s the pro.

I shouldn't like this, but... I REALLY like it.

Bound neck, unaged trap inalys and Grover’s....op guitar is unbound, aged inlays and vintage style pearloid kulsons

I’m not going to lie. That still interests me.

Given how the aged traps, but w/o binding, doesn't seem to match up to either a Standard DC or a Classic DC, I'ma go with one of those limited run GOTWs or GOTMs.
