Further to my last thread (likening guitar purchasing to cameras) I spent lunchtime today trying out Les Pauls in a shop, both Epiphone and Gibson models.
With the Gibsons (and possibly the Epiphones too but I'd put them down by this stage) all the models I tried were "bottom heavy" in that when I played sitting down, the neck wanted to lift up. (I tried a Traditional, a Standard and a Custom shop).
Is this an inherent part of the design? If so, as a sitting down player (at home, usually trying to follow a book or video lesson) I wonder whether LPs are right for me, or is it something one just gets used to?
Would be grateful for any thoughts.

Yes, I'm right handed and rested it on my right leg. I am common - my mother always told me so, usually in reference to my table manners.
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
