Can these words be spoken together?

Two of my favourite bits of kit put together - I really like them

A Les Paul axcess is one of my most gigged guitars - different feel to the others but very easy to play.

I thought it would look horrific, but actually that one in the OP is actually quite subtle.

Whitecat

Good enough for Alex Lifeson...

The Les Paul Axcess is a brilliant guitar - a rare example of Gibson getting it right in the modern era.

Have to agree, I don't like trems at all, but they took a Les Paul and made it to fit a different market, and done an excellent job of it, the neck join on them is a revelation.

Fantastic, would love to try one some time 

Alnico

That's the best Les Paul I've ever seen.
Massive improvement that distracts from the 'Fat-Arsed' look of an LP.

Top Marks.

Couldn't have put it better myself!

If it upsets The Crusties, it's good enough for me. Though if I were to go down this road, I'd be paying Johnny Feline a visit.

Is the neck angle different to the regular LPs?

So a late 80s superstrat in Feline Lion clothes

6 way Freeway switch allowing access to all sounds

Customer asked us to use his old parts

There was a similar thread not long ago, but....

Yes they can be spoken together and that LP looks brilliant.  Even though I don't actually like Floyds.

Very cool @FelineGuitars ! I love the idea of a Floyd with Gibson scale, I believe the EVH brand do a mega-expensive version of the Wolfgang called the Custom with that.

Crikey, Reflex pickups!  That's a blast from the past.

Slightly.       There is a bit of variation between models anyway and the axcess has a lower angle than my standard but that also has a flatter neck angle compared to my custom.  
The body is also a little thinner (but not enough to bug me like the custom lite models) so that gives enough to let the Floyd routing work.    It’s a very clever design imo.

I prefer the Kahler trem on Les style guitars like Steve Clark, but I do like the Axcess

I really like Les Pauls and I really like Floyd Rose bridges. A few years ago they did the Les Paul studio shred model which I am always on the look out for. The thing I like about the studio shred model is there is really very little "shred" about it bar the Floyd Rose. It has a 50's neck profile!
