What's Hot

edited October 2023 in Guitars £
Not fussed whether it's a Gibson, Greco, Tokai etc but there's two things I'm looking for. It has to be a slim neck, and it can't weigh as much as small car!

I've got a few LP, but i need a lighter one to gig with, I'm getting on a bit! Currently gig with an 8lb and 9lb guitar

Anyone have something suitable?

    I'm guessing that's a chunky neck and not very light from the ones I've tried!

    I've got a Custom shop R9 up for sale at the moment, the neck isn't fat at all like my 59 335.

    I think it’s 9lb if I remember ,I was looking at an 8lb one but bought this 
    yes it’s probably a chunky neck  I always think they seem easy to play though , Iike the slightly smaller scale length on those big stretches .  I usually play a lot of necks like , Charvel , Jackson soloist etc

    Many Edwards LPs are really lightweight, had some below 8lbs. Price-quality they're great guitars
