Actually, I am looking for a Les Paul, but just not a "nice" one :lol:
I want one that's beat to shite and angry about it.
-
It does look a nice one!
The Traditional series appeals to me more than the "modernised" LP Standard 2008 (or whatever it's called) - but the downside is the bodies aren't weight-relieved so they all seem to be 9lbs+.

Juansolo's Edwards LP is quite light (as LPs go) ....and for sale!

That looks great. My favourite LP colour as well! Shame I can't afford it :(

Cheers Andy! :lol: I should be selling Edwards guitars, not buying them! Actually I quite like the look of his PRS SE Soapbar...
I'm not really on the lookout for LPs as such, I already have a rather good Fujigen "Signature" LP which isn't much over the 8lb mark. It's better than a Tokai I had (briefly) which cost three times as much.
I am always watching eBay for nice MIJ Gibson copies though, they can be very hard to resist.... what I need is to find some mugs like me, to sell some of mine to!

I love my Traditional. I'll love it even more once I get Nailbombs installed :lol:
The 57+ pickups are not my cup of tea, but otherwise the Traditionals are solid guitars that do capture what a Les Paul is about.
I sold a Goldtop Standard because it was weight relieved (well, hollowed out more likely). It didn't feel like I had a Les Paul on my shoulder and it lacked the density in its sound that I associate with a Les Paul.
The one in the OP has a very nice top indeed.

How long have you had the Fujigen one Philly. Another of your guitars that I didn't know about!

I like the Traditionals, but I'm not used to the weight and when I gig it's three or four set = 3-3.5 hours. Therefore I gig with (light swamp)ash-HSS-strats. Still would like to have a proper Les Paul.

There was definitely an NGD thread on that one Ian. I wasn't embarrassed about it because it was one of my very rare (almost) bargains :lol: :
