Hello from Switzerland
Hello,
I just joined the forum today and have been a long time Stratocaster and Tele player. I am looking to purchase my first Les Paul. I thought I would come here to get acquainted with what is out there, and what to look for, and what to avoid.

I am interested in the '57, '58 and '59 Historics. I have bone spurs on my shoulder from years as a competitive swimmer, so weight is an issue for me.

Re: Hello from Switzerland
Welcome to MLP! Bone spurs means you need a lighter guitar? better get a relieved weight if that is the case.

Re: Hello from Switzerland
Something lighter or a wider strap to distribute the weight more evenly. After awhile it feels like I have needles in my shoulder joint when there is pressure for a long period of time.

Yes, I just finished reading the Fakes section and 101 thread. It is crazy how much stuff gets passed off.
