I use to date a guy that loved Les Paul guitars. He had a wide range of different guitars (Fender Strat, Tele, and a Les Paul) and he much preferred playing the Les Paul over the other two. He thought it had a better sound.

To each their own. I'm basically a Strat/Superstrat guy but I love Les Pauls. I own a few and they sound great. Whether if it's for heavy rock rhythms, blues or jazzy stuff they come thru. And the ones I own are light and they don't kill my shoulder.

My only complaint with some Les Pauls is sometimes when you do a violent bend (especially around the G) they go out of tune. Not all but some.

i've heard of this happening. Guess the bridge of some of those are kinda Janky

Yeah...Sometimes the tuners or the bridge/nut setup needs to be looked at. But it's not major work and any pro luthier can fix it at a low price.

Just changed your mind? I've seen some sweet deals on used Taylor's in my area, and at G.C. Off the rack, I like Guild's and Yamaha's. I just commissioned an acoustic guitar from Jim Worland: an OM Redwood (top) / Madagasscar rosewood (back & sides) 12- fret cutaway acoustic.

Why am I thinking of Spinal Tap when watching the above clip?

I think Gibsons and Fenders are different animals. Both are wonderful in their own ways but to me a Gibson just feels superior in my hands. And they look so timeless too.Whether you were playing one in 1956 or 2000-whatever, you looked so cool playing a Les Paul.

I don't think Les Pauls are ugly, on the contrary, but they are small yet heavy. Depending on the guitar I don't like the way they play and sound much either.

But they are pretty.

I have a Gibson Epiphone stratocaster. Plays wonderfully easy and has the warmest sound. It's not very pretty tho'.
