musophilr Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 IMO The guitar that does what an LP can do (+ a bit more), which also offers good high fret access, is the Yamaha SG2000. It's not a lightweight but it is well balanced so you don't notice the weight when strapped on.

He bought it as a cheap backup for his Gibbo LP Custom, and the Custom swiftly became the backup. He later on sold the Custom, as he realised it wasn`t the guitar that he really wanted.
MacDaddy Posted March 16, 2012 Author Posted March 16, 2012 i remember the Tokai's from back in the day. They had quite a good reputation - too good to be copies.
shizznit Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 Played Les Pauls for years and bitched about the same problems with that design until I switched to PRS. I will never buy a Les Paul again!

Stu-khag Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) a colleague of mine has a gibson les paul axcess model. reduced heel, belly contour and its lighter. His one is a non floyd rose model (why it has a floyd rose I don't know and its the only model I can find a link to online) and i got the impression he didnt pay mega bucks for it. Its the first les paul I've played that I've ever felt comfortable with EDIT oops didnt read the post clearly linking to the axcess. doh! Edited April 12, 2012 by Stu-khag
