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

Re: Show us your Lesters!!!
My LP weighs a shit tonne more than either of my basses. Can do a whole gig on the jazz easy, but my back only lasts a set on the LP.Bg wrote:Its always amazing when guitarists whinge about weight when bass players are just expected to do itPolar Bear wrote: I love it, and despite the weight will happily play it for a 4 hour gig.

Re: Show us your Lesters!!!
It's the second heaviest LP I've ever picked up, so technically, you'd be correct. Couldn't care less about the weight though.Molly wrote: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.

Re: Show us your Lesters!!!
Been demoing new songs over the last month or so and quickly took this the other day! I'm not an overly sentimental type person but this guitar has a bit of a special story. After both my grandparents passed away I was given a bit of money as an inheritance. I grew up thinking goldtop LPs were the most amazing guitars, and as I got in to Split Enz it became a Deluxe. Anyway, long story short I'd saved enough that when I got it I thought this was a very fitting guitar to remember them by. Thanks to grantb, and misterb for playing their respective roles

The 'yours' does not apply sadly...
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.
