Hey, im currently trading my amp for one of the following Gibson Les Pauls. First one is a new Gibson Les Paul Traditional Desert burst. Second one is a new Gibson Les Paul Classic Plus Vintage Sunburst. which one of them is the better choice? Im thinking soundwise. Which one has the fuller and thick sound? Also which one is the most comfortable to play? Im not thinking about the weight here (I love when Les Pauls are heavy as s***)... Which one has the best Neck?

Also. What is the difference from a normal Les Paul and one where it say's VOS? I never figured out that?

VOS stands for Vintage Original Spec... meaning its an exact recreation of a vintage instrument. often, these guitars wouldn't be considered as "comfortable" instruments. either les paul should sound somewhat the same... i'd play both before you trade an amp in for one or the other.

If you can play them first, just pick the one that sounds better.

Maybe you can bring a friend along to referee?
