Re: Question to you Les Paul players

I don't remember what this thread was originally about but I'm kicking myself for not getting a 50's neck on my Standard...the 60's neck doesn't bug me but in my opinion the bigger the neck the better!

Re: Question to you Les Paul players

I used to play strats and yet the heel doesn't present any issues.

Re: Question to you Les Paul players

Not that I'm an experienced guitar player (I'm not) but consider a solid body Rickenbacker.  They don't have a neck joint as the neck runs right through the body to the tail. The 620 has a very fast neck, the 650 is a bit meatier. Both are priced around what you would pay for a Gibson LP studio.  620 has single coil pups, the 650 has 'buckers.

BTW I do have 2 LPs (1 Gibson, 1 Epi), neck joint (or heel) really doesn't bother me.

Re: Question to you Les Paul players

If you like les paul tone and the 339 you need to look at the cs 336 or cs 356, the 339 is a true hollow body, the 336/356 are the same small 335 style routed out of a single solid piece of mahognany, a les paul feel/drive with the sustain and shimmer of a 335 really awesome guitars.  Everytime I've seen Lifeson lately he's playing PRS (also a great guitars), Haynes 58 RI is really cool with great electronics.  Toys, toys, toys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know tongue both Joe and Alex Lifeson(2 of my heros) are now Les Paul players ... I'm really loving hearing Les Paul players/tones lately(Warren Heynes etc) .... I have a bad case of GAS(Guitar Aquisition Syndrome) .

The other alternative is a ES-339, Size of a Les Paul .. tone of a 335 .... but will I still have GAS for a les Paul ...... oooohhh I wish I was rich.. I'd get both.
