Some of the common problems one will have when using a LP:-
1. Having a kick ass painfull sound for ya axe
2. Your shoulder will ache like hell
3. You will tend to have the Slash pose
4. You will look way fatter if you are already fat
5. The sounds of the guitar will be so lemak and so creamy that you will end up having high musical cholesterol.

Well, you can consider a SX lp standard. Am using that. Seriously its not that bad that i imagined. Ya know SX can pawn a lot of copy guitar ya know? sounds from squeir telecaster use the same amp also not good as my sx. im not offending squeir user, but this is just my two cents. and you can get a SX below rm800. flex.gif flex.gif

Leather strap can make your shoulder feel comfortable.

No, it is a price to pay to get such a heavy guitar also a guitar that produce heavy tone.

I don't know how you define heavy tones, but to me the LP has a very deep, thick tone.

As stated, can i know why les paul is always heavier than other guitars(including EPI and GIBSON)?
sometimes using a les paul  will cause me feel tired.

eerr....i'm surprise that no one wants to correct this. A les paul is a guitar model introduced by GIBSON. EPI is a subsidiary company of GIBSON. the les paul shape is widely copied by other manufacturer either for their own model or just a copy.

you can't compare a tele and a les paul as both guitars have their own sound. it's like comparing a banana to an apple.

True about the Les Paul VS Telecaster......
The tele is twangy, while the Les Paul is Heavy (in terms of tone)....

I know SX is pretty good... Been hearin good reviews and praises from users... But i might just stick to either getting an epiphone LP or the real deal LP somewhere next year... depending how much $$$ i have by then... laugh.gif
