It’s like I’ve been reborn.

    I’ve never played a LP. I should. My preferences tend towards PRS, but a LP has always been on the list.

      As someone that’s mained a Gibson Les Paul for like 10 years now, I got the opportunity to play a PRS single cut and I’m really close to pulling the trigger on one.

      Wonderful and thoughtful instruments. The PRS single cuts seem to address every quibble I have about Gibson LPs. Definitely worth looking into if you’re not familiar!

        I have played a McCarty 594 single cut. Likely why I’ve never felt the need to get a LP. I do REALLY want a 594. Now that they have an SE line I might afford another.

    I like that top a lot. The lower bout looks like it belongs on a custom. If they’d had a book matched piece to it, I’d bet that’s where it’d be. Beautiful guitar. Congrats!

    Congrats! What guitar are you coming from, and what’s the difference like?

    I’ve been playing an ES-335 Studio since about 1999.

    I love the look and feel of it, but it has the dirty fingers pickups and they just aren’t great.

    I’m considering replacing the pickups with a better set of Gibsons, or maybe going for something crazy like some Seymour Duncan P-Rails.
