The Junior and Special are two other Les Paul models. The reason why the Standard and Custom is more expensive is down to better and more expensive wood (the maple, mahogany, rosewood and some times ebony) and finishing touches such as bindings and hardware. If these things alone should give that great a price gap is another matter. I suspect there's also more manual labor involved in the higher priced items.<br><b>References : </b><br>40 years of playing and dealing with guitars Actually there are more models, including the Standard – probably the most used version of the Les Paul range.
