wow, just really, really perfect. I don't know why I bother playing any other guitars, the LPC is just where its at. Played an Ibanez Jem the first set. It was good. Plays fast and I like the pickups in it. Looks great, too. For the 2nd set switched to the custom. Why do I keep doing this? The Custom just sounds sooooooo much better than anything else. No 24 frets, no bar which I rarely use anyway, a little clunky for upper access but damn that sound.

Recipe for awesome tone:
Friedman BE 100
Les Paul Custom
if you're an effects guy, Eventide and TC stuff.


You really cant miss after that.

yup

Why I keep playing them and have a hard time buying anything else after owning so many other styles. Nothing else makes 'that' sound. And when I do start playing something else (for looks or comfort) I keep coming back to the LP.

It's a rich, textured, 3D, WALLOP of sound upside the head.

No other guitars do that but LP's.

Just had to make one small change... Other than that, A+! The Friedman stuff is kick ass. I really could see a Pink Taco in my life, but I fear it won't be loud enough.

The Eventide H9 is tough to beat! Any in the store?

It may just be that one guitar. You should buy another Custom LP and play out with it for comparison.

I'll be waiting in the MLP Classifieds for your sale of the JEM and and a Strat I like :)

Naah my white custom is pretty on par. I think the LPC is just the guitar for me. Limitations and all, you cant beat that sound. Rock Kandy has many solos in the upper register, lots of working around that clunky heel.

Sounds like you had an epiphany, they make an ointment for that.
