I went into a local Sam Ash and on the wall with a half dozen LP standards was this 2013 LP Supreme in cherry sunburst at $600 less than a plain vanilla standard. After playing it for five minutes, I took it home. It's lighter than other LP's and really striking looking.

Very nicely done, no flaws anywhere.

Compared to a standard? It's a no brainer! You gotta like flashy though!
