Well, I couldn’t resist, she was available at a bargain price, it’s a cheap LP lookalike, with a tune-o-matic bridge, 2 humbuckers, a nice black polish and she’s much lighter than my Strat, I had a couple of troubles changing the strings and the tuners (I prefer locking ones). I also added a pickguard that I had to tune up a bit, the controls being closer to the pickups than on a real LP.
I know, not exactly the wonderful guitar to write family about, but I like how different she feels from the Strat, maybe easier for me to use, and as light as she is my back thanks me already.
I’m surprised its lighter than a strat that isnt normal!
A proper LP will have a shorter scale length, so shorter neck, smaller frets, lower tension for the same weight strings etc. This all helps play-ability some, it has its own downsides but that is somewhat specific.
That looks really smart I have a gold top LP copy from vintage guitars but as its made from solid mahogany its really heavy in fact I have to rest the body on a cushion otherwise I have to push the neck down with my fretting hand not good but getting used to it.
I actually like that the pickup toggle is down with the volume and tone. I dont mind the weight of the LP in fact they are generally my favorite electric to play, but I have never been a fan of the toggle above the strings. I generally leave the volume on the neck pick up OFF and use the toggle as a type of on/off switch and I end up occasionally hitting the toggle with my wild playing. Its a small thing and mostly results from my lack of control in wailing out but I can see that a huge personal advantage.
