WTB Les Paul

supes

Not fussed whether it's a Gibson, Greco, Tokai etc but there's two things I'm looking for. It has to be a slim neck, and it can't weigh as much as small car!

I've got a few LP, but i need a lighter one to gig with, I'm getting on a bit! Currently gig with an 8lb and 9lb guitar

Anyone have something suitable?

I think classics have a slimmer neck

I'm guessing that's a chunky neck and not very light from the ones I've tried!

I've got a Custom shop R9 up for sale at the moment, the neck isn't fat at all like my 59 335.

I think it’s 9lb if I remember ,I was looking at an 8lb one but bought this 
yes it’s probably a chunky neck  I always think they seem easy to play though , Iike the slightly smaller scale length on those big stretches .  I usually play a lot of necks like , Charvel , Jackson soloist etc

Thanks but it's the same weight as what i already have.

@hollywoodrox thanks mate but i need something lighter than what i gig with now, and my current LP's are 8/9lb.

Many Edwards LPs are really lightweight, had some below 8lbs. Price-quality they're great guitars

Did you ever get sorted @supes ...?

Tempted by this Tokai Love Rock that's just appeared on Rich Tone myself. 7lbs 3oz!

You seen the lp modern I’ve got on here man? Have a look if not? 

supes

@Deadman cheers for the mention! 

I ended up going down the SG route in the end. Much lighter, same scale length, and plenty of thin necks!

I'm probably going to end up selling my number 1 Les Paul as I can't see me gigging it again. It's a 1989 with headstock repair but it's the best LP I've played in 40 years.

I've got a Vintage V100 in Arctic White with black knobs replaced by gold knobs, nice slim neck, gold Wilkinson hardware. Feels light to me and I've played heavier LPs and teles. 

£170 posted for a guitar that plays like at least twice that.
