So I'm a bit late on my NGD. But a couple of weeks ago I picked up this R9. 8.2 lbs. BB1's and 2's. I have to say it is absolutely THE best les paul I have ever played. I've had a few: 1981 les paul standard (dug it but butt ugly clownburst and 3 piece body), a 2006 57 reissue (sounded good but HUGE neck) and a 2000 57 reissue (great tone..neck smaller than 2006 but still a bit big). Everything on this guitar just feels good. the lighter weight is great. I love the smaller neck. Its not huge like the 57's and R8's Iv'e played. Its "just right".
I have 2 sets of Sheptones at home that I want to try in the guitar. But I will say that the BB's that are in here already sound very good and I would be happy to keep them in. But...a tinkerer has to tinker.
