Also couldn't help but notice this article on nitro-cellulose finishes.
Sound advice. Thanks very much!![]()
I don't like Les Pauls - too chunky and heavy.
Try an SG.
I didn't say he was, just giving my opinion.
Have you considered a fender strat btw, you get a good US standard (no mexico rubish which in reality are actually not bad) strat for £699 ish. Very versatile guitar a propper US fender. These are a far cry from Strat copies/style guitars. Last strat I got was the Highway 1 version rather than the standard and the tone and playability was fantastic.
Alternatively the Ibanez SZ520 QM are very good for the money and imo give the Gibson studios a good run for the money.
What is your nearest quality guitar shop? Get down there this weekend and start trying some.![]()
I have considered them, but I really do love the look of a Gibson Les Paul. Strats do nothing for me. I think I might be too superficial about looks to appreciate the fact that I'm told that Strats play better clean than GLPs. I'll definately try one though, as the cost difference is too large to ignore.
I don't know if I'd settle for a studio.
I'm surprised we haven't seen DMPoole in here, as I thought he owned a Les Paul and could comment on the weight. Maybe I was wrong.![]()
Hi,
I'm interested in buying a Gibson Les Paul (Somehow), and I'd like to know a little bit more about the different kinds of Les Paul from someone who's actually had a go on them. I'm not looking to buy online or anything, just a bit of research.
What's the difference between a Les Paul Studio, and a Les Paul Standard?
Also, what's the difference between a Les Paul 60s neck and a Les Paul 50s neck?
Cheers,
Karl.

I'd also strongly agree with Vengeance, you should never ever buy a guitar that is full of wasps, acoustics suffer more from this problem due to the large wasp hole on the front.
