PRS SE Silver Sky
632 available from $500The SE Silver Sky keeps the signature details of the US-made original: the small bird inlays on the fretboard, the beveled lower horn, and the 635JM-style pickups.

Upon first glance, these American Standard guitars might just look like any old Strat, but contemporary features like a flatter fingerboard radius, thinner neck profile and a refined, more contemporary tremolo system make these first-wave American Standard Stratocasters the first choice for a plethora of players over 30 years later. Available with both maple and rosewood fretboards, as well alder or ash bodies, these versatile instruments have held value and stood the test of time. - 13

Gibson Les Paul Studio 1998 - 2011
91 available from $595The Gibson Les Paul Studio has been the accessible, stripped down version of the icon since 1983. With genuine Gibson USA humbuckers and tone controls, it provides much of the same tone as a Les Paul Standard without any extras like binding or flamed maple. Although flashier appointments have been options in later years (like diamond inlays, and gold hardware), this is meant to be a workhorse guitar. If Les Paul tone is all you're after, here's your weapon.- 1998 marked the first update to the Les Paul Studio since it was fully redesigned in 1990, with the most notable change being the replacement of most Ebony fretboards with Rosewood - except on the Alpine White and Classic White models.
- The Les Paul Studio features 490R/498T Humbuckers, and a Mahogany Body with Maple Top
- Available in a number of different finishes over this period, with Alpine White, Ebony, and Wine Red carrying through the entire 13-year run. Other finishes include Emerald, Pewter, Teal Blue Flip Flop, Fireburst, Classic White, Cherry Sunburst, and Silverburst.

Fender ST-62 Stratocaster Reissue MIJ
202 available from $629The first era of Fender Japan began in 1982, when domestic market Japanese Fenders started rolling out of factories. While Fender Japan is popularly known for some of their more extravagant aesthetics, the bulk of domestic Japanese production was focused on reissues of historic American Fender models. These reissue models were labeled by a two letter/two number model code for the model and reissue year, followed by a suffix that indicated the price in Yen, and any unique specifications the model had. While a given model might come in a variety of price points during a given model year, from entry level to the near Custom Shop quality of Fender Japan's ExTrad series, all the models would broadly follow the aesthetic and technical specifications of the original American models. Reissue models would follow this naming convention until 2015, when Fender Japan revamped their product line to more closely mirror the organizational structure of the Mexican and American made Fender lines. Models on this page represent the 1982 - 2015 era of Fender Japan production, and typically feature the old style Fender Japan serial number at the base of the neck, as opposed to the contemporary "JD-" serial number format found on the back of the headstock. The original model codes (and frequently the value suffix) can usually be found in the neck pocket of the body, and at the base of the neck where the mounting holes are. - 33
Fender American Standard Stratocaster 2008 - 2016
129 available from $729The Stratocaster family tree has grown tall and wide over the years, but the Fender American Standard Strat carries on the original legacy of the model in its purest form. It is an axe that can do it all, the swiss-army-knife guitar, but still has enough signature tone in its glassy, bell-like attack to have a world unto itself. For anyone looking to have only one guitar, the Fender American Standard Stratocaster has to be part of the discussion. - 34
PRS CE 24
374 available from $1,399The Paul Reed Smith CE 24 combines the company's flagship bolt-on neck design, hot PRS 85/15 humbuckers, and a figured maple top for an electric guitar that looks as good as it sounds.

Gibson Les Paul Custom "Norlin Era" Electric Guitar 1970 - 1985
266 available from $119.79While made during one of the company's most controversial eras when many players saw a sacrifice of quality for profit margins, the Gibson Les Paul Customs of the Norlin Era can be diamond-in-the-rough finds for players with a keen eye. In particular, if you're looking for iconic LP growl with the workhorse construction that made these guitars a legend in the first place, many guitarists and luthiers alike point to the late '70s/early '80s models as capstones of the era. - 36

Gibson SG Standard 1991 - 2012
53 available from $1,000Over the years, Gibson has offered many iterations of the SG, but none has stuck around quite like the Gibson SG Standard. After its introduction as a replacement to the Les Paul in 1961, the SG's sharp, striking double-cut, beveled edges, and solid mahogany body, have all placed the SG squarely in the realm of legendary solidbody guitars. Though it was called the Les Paul after its initial production, the moniker was dropped in preference to SG. The SG Standard remains one of Gibson's most popular guitars and one of the brand's top-selling models since its release used by by players like Tony Iommi, Jeff Tweedy, and Angus Young. The Gibson SG Standard has seen many evolutions, existing and enduring through different additions and subtractions, but still remains one of the most iconic Gibson guitars. - 41

133 available from $2,950 - 50
Epiphone Les Paul Standard (1990 - 2019)
66 available from $360The original Les Paul model can claim a list of users that amounts to a who's who list of rock royalty - Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Peter Frampton, Slash, Jimmy Page, Billy Gibbons, and Joe Walsh among others - but remains out of reach financially for many players. The Epiphone Les Paul Standard gets one in your hands for a fraction of the price, with all the same mojo and feel. Choose the Plus model for a figured top or the Pro model for coil-tapping. Swap out the pups/electronics, and a blind tone test with a Gibson becomes a dangerous proposition... - 51

71 available from $1,900Built to the specs of The Smiths' (and occasional Modest Mouse) guitarist, Johnny Marr, this signature Jaguar features a taller tremolo arm as well as a four position slider pickup selector.
