DaddyO Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hello everyone New guy here. Just wanted to spread the word about my new pride and joy............ Just scored myself an ebony 2000 les paul standard in mint shape She is an absolute killer, plays like butter an sounds like the sky opened up and rained down a heavenly choir This is one heavy guitar just about 11 lbs. but i gotta tell you i'll sacrifice my back for the sound. I really feel the weight gives this guitar that punch i've been looking for but havn't been able to find in the newer pauls Maybe i just got lucky, it's about time. I've been thru alot of pauls and was about to give up on them......really glad i didn't ! Anyway it's great to be aboard, i'll talk to you all soon!......... i'll try to get up some pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matiac Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 11 pounds? Man that things a porker! I had an older L.P. Studio weighed a ton like that, definately one of the heavier guitars I've had the pleasure of playing/owning. Good thing my back wasn't outta whack like it is now, that worried me when I got my Goldtop, krikes compared to the studio, I can twirl it on my fingertip, it's a chambered 2007 Classic. Anyway, welcome aboard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the standards 2006 and older (before they started chambering in 2007) weighed just over or just under 9lbs from what I understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
