I'm not ready to sell just yet. As I said above, I'm new to the Les Paul world so I'm trying to figure out what this guitar can do. I think also that my amp might not have enough headroom to be a match for what I'm looking for. I really like Robben Ford's Les Paul tone with Larry Carlton, it's more raw than his standard tone. A Dumble, though, is not an option. Any recommendations on an affordable alternative - maybe in the $1,500 range?
