guitar help

well guys ive been looking at getting a gibson les paul studio does any one have any negative feedback on this guitar besides the price

 

yeah im taking my amp to get repaired so i figured id look at the les pauls while i was up there

 

my biggest issue is that i dont really need a new guitar. i have 4 but i just dont feel like my collection is complete without a les paul.
ive got a
1965 gibson es 125
1960's fender mustang
2001 american strat
and a 2006 lite ash tele
so im just torn as to what to do

 

3 Fenders and only one Gibson? Yes, you need another Gibson for sure!!
As for the LP Studio, I don't know, I've read good and bad things, but that goes for pretty much any guitar. Personally, I have a Les Paul Traditional (as well as an SG Standard) and love it. If you think the Studio version is overpriced, just compare it to the Traditional or even the Custom line!!

 

yeah i know if i was still playing in a band i would go for one of the higher end ones but this is now just for playing in my room and maybe some stuff down the road so i can justify 3000

 

It depends on what kind of music you play- I can't hang with just humbuckers and a tune-o-matic bridge, I suppose if it's your 5th guitar that doesn't really matter. I love my frankenstrat with all the mojo mods so much that I loaned out my Les Paul because it just collects dust.

 

yeah i dont have any that have humbuckers so im looking to get a little of that sweet humbucking tone ill let you guys know im heading off now

 

A few years ago I was looking to buy a used LP studio just to satisfy my humbucker desires. I tried a singlecut PRS SE and really liked it. I later gutted it out and had Seymour Duncan 59's installed with ungraded switches and wireing. Its plays great, is lighter than a LP and satisfied my needs. I probably have $1100.00 invested. Just a thought.

 

well i went with the les paul studio heres all them together



and then the les paul

 

Good choice. I like!

 

Nice LP. Is it faded cherry? Ive got an SG that is faded cherry and they just started making them with the worn/faded cherry finish again. I think mines pretty rare as it has the crescent moon inlays. I have always liked LP's better than SG's but the SG was one of those deals I couldnt pass up. Glad I didnt I love how light the SG is. Is the studio pretty heavy?

 

its not as heavy as i thought it would be but then again 10 pounds isnt much to carry around

 

I have been itching to add to my collection. I have been eying the PRS's lately. My wife always says "Why do you need another guitar, you can only play one at a time?".

 

Guitars are like guns. You can NEVER have too many. Very nice collection.

 

tell her that there is more than one type of music you need one for every style lol and thanks for the compliments

 

I find that its easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission. Hey my wife is the same way, They just don't seem to understand.

 

OH I GOT IT.... Ask her how come she need so many shoes or purses she can only wear or hold one at a time. bam! there we go guys buy away

 

Buy away, but be prepared for the Consequences. LOL

 

just make sure you lose the reciept you cant return it with out it
