I don't own a Les Paul.... never giged with one but had planned to buy one this year... but I was at a house party to celebrate a friends birthday last night.... he has a mountain of gear and a PA set up in one of his many rooms in his house... which is massive.. anyway along with about 10 other musicians we had a jam.... I was handed a Les Paul historic and plugged into a Line 6 spider valve... and today I know why I'm not a Les Paul fan... my right arm hurts so bad and I could get maybe 1 really usable sound from the guitar... I came home today and picked up my Tyler and realised that as beautiful as the LP looked it is just not a versatile instrument.... and it hurts to play... I have many friends who swear by them but what I've realised is that it's partly nostalgia and partly unwillingness to accept that just maybe something could be better.... give me modern gear anytime over the old stuff...
