Re: Show us your Lesters!!!
This is indeed how I lost the Junior, straight swap. It's more like Grandad's axe, not a lot of original bits on it. It had some high gain Seymour Duncan p90s in there when I got it, but I've swapped them out for some Antiquities when I did a rewire on it. Whilst it's a bit of a mongrel, I love it, and despite the weight will happily play it for a 4 hour gig.Dharmajester wrote:Polar Bear wrote:My current number one. 1969 Les Paul.

That surprises me. Bet it's not that heavy compared to some.Polar Bear wrote: Many, many pounds/KGs. I don't have scales at home, but it's a beast.
Anyway, here's mine. Just the R7 on the right. Not too heavy at all.

True - ours put on 14 kilos over Xmas and didn’t grizzle one bit.
