Thanks, Rahul! I'll give that a try.

Speaking of the limited price reduction on Studio LPs (according to Guitar Center's site), do you happen to know when the reduction ends? Maybe I'll sneak 'em a call while hubby's away... :twisted:]]> The Other Side musica23 https://guitarnoise.forum/the-other-side-the-other-side/lp-question-guitar-line-up/#post-210116 https://guitarnoise.forum/the-other-side-the-other-side/lp-question-guitar-line-up/#post-210007 Sun, 19 Nov 2006 18:43:32 +0000
So just play some and you will find out.

For your husband, you need to play him 'Sweet child of mine' on the LP (or an acoustic).Replace 'she' with 'he' (as in the Sheryl Crow version) and hopefully, he won't mind the purchase.

Les Paul Studio

However, my hands and fingers are quite small and I've never tried a LP. I know they're heavy, but I'm concerned about the width of the neck. I see that there's an option for women (or anyone) called the Vixen (Sky Burst, Ebony or Ice Burst for me...I'd have to see 'em in person). I'll definitely give that some thought, but my heart belongs to the Alpine White beauty above. So, without being able to try one out for a while as I'm under the weather with bronchitis, please offer your experiences with the almighty Gibson LP so I can try to detach if necessary! Of course I'll try one out ASAP, but this is driving me nuts for now. Plus, I'm curious as to what other women (or men with small hands, for that matter) are playing. Here's my guitar line-up in order of playing comfort:

1. 1981 Aria Pro II - Perfectly small neck, great little guitar I picked up new. Not the prettiest thing on earth, but serves me well. Plus, it's been signed by Roy Buchanan (R.I.P.), Bonnie Raitt, Buddy Guy and Robert Cray (who is almost worn off :cry: )

2. 2006 Fender Strat Deluxe Ash - My newest baby...cherry sunburst, rosewood fretboard, beautiful and a pleasure to play. This may stop my acquistion of a LP as my hubby doesn't understand why anyone would need more than one guitar. :roll:

3. 2006 Schecter Diamond Series C/SH-1 - Also new, it's transparent red, gold hardware, semi-hollow and beautiful. Same as above...too much new stuff.

4. 1984 Ibanez Roadstar II (Strat copy, pretty much, though not "lawsuit" era) - My least favorite electric of all-time (that I own). When I bought it new I really wanted a Strat. It's very uncomfortable for me to play and not pretty enough to compensate for that fact (sort of a classic white or cream color w/black pickguard and trem). Although I love accumulating things, I'd happily let this one go if I thought it would bring much.

Also, I have a 1985 Ovation acoustic/electric which I rarely play as I much prefer electric. In addition, I own 4 bass guitars which is a whole different story.

So please let me know if you (with small hands!) have had success with a LP! Also, let me know what you're playing if you care to take the time. Thanks!]]> The Other Side musica23 https://guitarnoise.forum/the-other-side-the-other-side/lp-question-guitar-line-up/#post-21959
