Neal Schon Les Paul

[_pete_]

I'll go against the grain here. If I had to have a Les Paul, I'd go for the Neal Schon. I like it. The neck joint on it may actually make it playable above the 15th fret.

If you wanna be real hip, hunt up a Aria Pro II PE-NS Neil Schon sig model. Neil Schon Aria

Originally posted by aclarke 15mm maple top, 45mm mahog back. mahogany neck, rosewoood board, sustainer. About 650US$ list, i've seen them for half that.

 

IS that model still in production? the burny website only has a kahler equipped version, which is still worth considering, but i've never played a kahler equipped guitar.

That agile isn't on the Rondo Music site... Does anyone know when they're coming back?

How does it play? what's the floyd like? Is it floating?

[_pete_]

The "Floyd" on the Agile looks remarkably similar to the Ibanez LO-TRSII. A notoriously known piece of crap.

It will most likely stop staying in tune after a few months of moderate use when the soft metal knife edges start to wear.

The good news is that a real Floyd will drop right in.

Yah, it looks to be a POS with soft metal but since I can easily replace it with a real Floyd I'm not too worried about it.

How does a decapitated horn and weird headstock look "nicer" ?

Beautiful guitars the early mij PE's, I have the PE-R80 which is very similar to the PE-NS,as a matter of fact there are 2 Neil Schon model Aria PE's, the NS like you mentioned and there is another Neil Schon model, which is basically the PE-R80,with a few modifications.Awesome guitars......not very easy to find though...........

[guitar_played]

There also used to be a Burny Neal Schon Model! P-90 in the neck, bridge humbucker and floyd.... one of those would be fun... but i'm really liking the idea of the sustainer system.

[lloop9]

erm... how does the sustainer sound in a LP body, which has naturally long sustain?

 

wldn't that be loo much of a "good" thing?

So, just to be sure, all of these models are still in production? too many choices... i want them all, although the rlc-65S is what i'm really looking for

[murky69nz]

I just picked up a burny RLC65S in black....app they don't make the standard with a floyd anymore, and I am told that I got one of the last customs....

 

It's a nice guitar.

Originally posted by Guit Fiddle Hmmm. That's a pretty nonsensical guitar IMO. If you're going for sustainer functionality and a Floyd Rose for cat-raping, why choose a Les Paul as the vehicle? Reminds me of all the punk kids with their Yugi-Oh haircuts that modify Honda Civics with fart-mufflers and neon lights.

 

....ummm except this is freakin Neal Schon. When you can play like that, you do whatever you want. No similarity to ricers at all.

[Hell Bites]

That's a pretty ridiculous price. Didn't he also use strats and strat-style styled guitars with Floyds just as much?

[Omri_Maor]

check gibsoncustom's website

there is a dimarzio fastrack picup with a fernandes sustainer. and a burstbucker type 3 in the bridge

the neck joint is sculpted

but holy {censored} that thing is over priced!

Um, have you checked the bodies on those Fernandes Ravelles?

 

There's a world of difference (and feedback!) between "long sustain" and The Sustainer.

[ZenFly]

There was also a "Schon" Guitar I think distributed by Jackson.. kind of a firebirdy looking ...you have to go to Ed Roman's site for that.

A little late to the game, aren't you bud?

[BryanMichael]

10 k list price .....I'd pay MAYBE $700-800 for that, guess that's why I own no LP's hah.

 

You could go for the Epi Pro FX and do the mods to it (except for finishing in Gold) for about that price, maybe less!

[Reignman]

 

Saw one in MF catalog-7 thousand frikkin dollars. Don't have a pick-but it's a goldtop with a floyd rose, 2 mini toggles, maybe a sustainer pickup in the neck?, and some other replacement one at the bridge. So, what part of that is worth $5000 extra ?

 

 

The font that says "Neal Schon".
