*The Les Paul MAY BE the BEST lap guitar EVER.......Yup, itz a "Heavy" bastard BUT compared to what ??? The lightwieght, no tone schit that floods the market ??? MANY people have seen "lil' 'ol" Randy Rhodes (about 5'5" or so) raise holy hell with a Les Paul and the V has also....Sounds to me like you need to start eatin' them Wheaties and bulk up a bit.... :D....Just so ya don't think I'm some kinda Les Paul and Strat freak (which I am !! LOL), I want you to know that after seeing (and hearing) Neal Schon play that marvelous PRS through those Marshall heads/Half-stax (4 of them, each) is THE definition of warmth, sustain and tone......
