That’s a beauty! Congratulations!
I've never seen those mini buckers before, thought they were p90s at first glance. How do they compare to the full size ones?
Also RIP your back, I love my LP but it's so damn heavy I stopped gigging with it years ago
The minis to me sound brighter and clearer. You can really get some twang out of the bridge pickup. I find the neck to be a lot more usable as well; still a little muddy in the lower registers, but for a bluesy solo in the high register it’s got that body and bite similar to a strat neck pickup.
Interestingly, the routing in the body is the same size as a soap bar P90. This makes these guitars really easy to mod because you can throw a P90 in either position just by taking out the pickup ring that holds the mini.
So pretty! Do you know what the weight is? Mini humbuckers are sweet
The weight isn’t bad at all. I’m not sure of the exact number, but I’d say it’s about 8.5lbs or so? Maybe 9lbs max? Certainly not heavy for a Les Paul
Noice That’s fantastic weight for an LP
I love the top. To me, it’s so much more beautiful than the usual flame top.
I picked up a Standard 50’s a few weeks ago. Same love at first strum.
When you get sick of it going out tune, go grab some Grover locking tuners. It’s an easy swap and it’s totally worth it.
Enjoy.
