    If looking at a Les Paul, perhaps the Gibson SG Special is worth looking at as well:

    24.75" scale length
    Slim taper neck
    Under 7 lbs
    Better upper fret access from the cut-away style

    and two P-90 single coil pickups

    Cheaper than the Les Paul as well (the SG was a "Les Paul" until Les Paul got made and made Gibson remove his name)




    A nice looking guitar!
    I've also had my eye on this one:

    i'd get that one. of the 4 they show in stock the woodgrain looks better on that one. plus it is lighter than the others.
    So cool that you said that- I was just taking another look at them, and I agree- the body on that one looks great. 
    The other choice I'm seriously looking the one on the far right.  I like it because I like the even color of the neck and it's lighter by an ounce. 
    I'm almost certain I will get one or the other tomorrow!
    In a perfect world, the darker even colored neck would be matched with the one with the more even grain of the body.  It ain't a perfect world, lol, so I'll just have to make up my mind and go for one of them.  Leaning toward the one with the even grain body and lighter neck- same as the one you like.
    Thanks for the input!

    You are going to love the tone. Gibson P90s are straight Crazy Horse tone machines. Also the small fender combos like the Princeton plus a maxed out p90 are a match made in heaven

    It's beautiful!  But I haven't had a chance to plug it in what with dealing with a rare and unfortunate event- the engine in our Prius engine is toast with only 200K miles on it.  It should have lasted at least 300K but a faulty plug sent a piece of ceramic into a cylinder and ruined the engine.  Freak accident.  Major expense.  Ouch!
    Oh well, at least I can play my guitar!

    Hopefully some pictures tomorrow!
