Horrifying suggestion coming up...
I mean truly and spectacularly frightening...
Now... I am going to preface this by saying that a LP is a guitar of many many gods, and a terrific and worthy choice.
But...
And again, this is scary...
Find a way to try a PRS SC 594...
I know I know... not the face mate!
OK... I've moved back about 15 feet, just in case...
I'm serious though... just TRY it. Just once.
I know lots of guys that did it, and never regretted it.
Feels/sounds like heresy doesn't it?
Yeah, but maybe... just maybe it might be good!
Maybe not, but you'd know for sure after... right?
I am going to run away now, cuz I can see the stink eye just as good as the next wanker.
I've owned a couple of PRS' and got to be honest they are just not for me. I wanted to love them. They are gorgeous and impeccably built, and since I grew up in Maryland I had an affinity toward a MD-based builder. But they just don't work for me. Something too "clinical" about the sound an feel. I always go back to Gibsons, no matter what else I play for whatever reason.

Nah. Not knocking it at all, but it would be throwing money away for me. I'd never play it while I had Gibsons sitting across the room. Just me.

Slash guitar NO why it's just a LPS with A2 pickups and a decal why pay a extra $1000.00 for that.
If it was me I would save up for this guitar

Back in 2002 I had the Gibson Custom Shop copy my 1960 LPS V-1 guitar the neck is exact to the original
every time I play the Custom Shop copy it sounds better in 2002 it was $3850.00 the extras were Flitch matched top and Brazilian rosewood finger board
the burst bucker pickups sounded like A$$ installed JM Rolph pickups fixed.
I play the Custom Shop RO 99% of the time now.

Gibson Custom Shop 60th Anniversary 1960 Les Paul Standard V1 VOS Antiquity Burst 2020 #00625
Here's a used and still in overall excellent condition '60 Les Paul by the Gibson Custom Shop. This is a V1 model finished in Antiquity Burst. 1960 was the last year of production for Les Paul models until 1968. The Version 1 guitars have the same specs as 1959 Les Pauls, the middle third of the...

I have a Gibson CS 1960 R0 coming tomorrow. It's a brand new 2020 build. Not sure if it's V-1, V-2 or V-3.
I'll post up some thoughts here. Hell GBall can come to me shop and play it if he wants...
. At NAMM 2019.

Gball, I sure wish you didn't live so far away. I would love to have you check out all my guitars ( even my lowly EPI LP with T Tops)
The funny part for me is for every different instrument, I hear and get the sensation of something different, and many times the experience is like a fresh surprise to me when I pick up any one of my favorites in my collection.
Smitty got to spend a day doing this, I felt honored to have his more skilled hands play and make nice music as we took turns checking out one another's guitars, his pedal board and my 4 Holer.

This is exactly how I feel when Robert comes over. It is just fantastic to hear my gear being played by such a skilled player!

Funny... I play rhythm in my band, and when I hand one of my axes to the lead player to try (he's in love with the Silver Sky), I sit back and go... So THAT'S what it sounds like!
