I have 2 burny LP’s and can honestly say that they are as good or better than the real thing. I’ve had several LP’s in the past and can’t see spending that much money for them anyway. Honestly, I don’t understand the hoopla over them. They’re over weight, have a obnoxiously large heal and are not very well balanced. Not to mention, overpriced. They’re basically a rhythm guitar. For Pete’s sake they were designed back in the 50’s. Nobody played solos in them days. The only reason the guys in the 60’s and 70’s used them is because that’s all there was for rock was gibson and Fender. I know some of you purists will take offense to this but higher end Ibanez’s ei. RG550, 570, RGA121, Jem, JS series, S series Prestige. smoke LP’s. I know you’re laughing but consider this, There’s nowhere on the neck you can’t get to with ease on an Ibanez, they’re very well balanced and don’t weigh a ton, they use high end parts and have an awesome tone (remember, most of your tone comes from your fingers) and you can get 2, maybe 3 for the price of a LP. I feel I am qualfied to weigh in on this due to the fact that I have been playing guitar professionally for the last 30 years and have played or owned most everything out there at one time or another. People got to get over this love affair with Les Pauls. Besides, Gibson is in the crapper these days. Think about it next time you go to drop 2-3 grand on a guitar.
