I was wondering how much better is the Plus Top is compared to the B-Stock.

The Plus Top is a lot more expencive, but is it worth it? or should I just go with the B-Stock?

So what do you think???

Answer 1

B stock has been reconditioned or has minor (sometimes not so minor) flaws. While the B stock is still playable, if you are meticulous about your sound and the way your guitar handles, pay the extra money for the plus top. Also, the b stock as of today at least, has been discontinued. They may come back, but right now the other option is the only one you are going to get.

Answer 2

They are both the same guitars,just the B-stock guitars are just refurbished,that is repaired by the manufacturer to original model specs.Go with the B-stock,if you can,but the ad you left the link for,states the B-stock line has been discontinued,Later

Answer 3

hi check out tokai les pauls before you go to an eppie
another is edwards to be honest with you they are better by miles than an eppie and worth more when you re sell trade in

ps whatever you get have it set up it makes all the difference
i would rather have a played in older tokai les paul than a new shiny eppie one

Answer 4

The best test is to go to your local guitar shop and see what is in stock, then actually play them. That way you will hear what they sound like, which I reckon is more imprtant than looks. Hope this helps

Answer 5

i have an epi les paul special model II its a good guitar pretty good sound and quality.... both those look pretty similiar so theres not gonna be much difference
