Members Mr Lucky Pants Posted December 26, 2009 Members Share Posted December 26, 2009 I love Les Pauls and haven't found anything I like nearly as much. Looking for suggestions for a #2 guitar that is not a LP. What else do you guys like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members phyrexia Posted December 26, 2009 Members Share Posted December 26, 2009 My backup Les Paul is a Les Paul, sorry. Anything with strings will work as a backup though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 59refin Posted December 26, 2009 Members Share Posted December 26, 2009 With your LP you've got the mahogany/humbucking thing covered. IMHO to add to your palette I'd consider one of the following: 1. Fender: Strat or Tele. 2. P-90 guitar like mybe an LP Junior or Special 3. Big Box: Gretsch or ES-175; or another jazz box of your liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 59refin Posted December 26, 2009 Members Share Posted December 26, 2009 Bbreaker, I know you love that ES but do 335's really sound that different than Pauls to you? Maybe I play with too much gain but certainly for distorted sounds they sound very similar to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer amps that don't rob a guitar's natural tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Badside Posted December 26, 2009 Members Share Posted December 26, 2009 I used to have a Ibanez SZ Prestige as a backup, were closely matched with the thick mahogany body and non-Dimarzio pickups (Duncans, rare for an Ibby). I even posted blind comparison clips once and though most people preferred the LP, everyone agreed they were damn close together. Neck was similar too, except a bit faster. I could shred better on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
