merciful-evans Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 That was a speedy delivery. Its easier to reach those upper frets now with that slimmed down body right? This one isn't mine, but its the same model. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And at 6 lbs, 9 ounces, the lightest Les Paul I have ever owned or held. Just tuned it up and gave it a shakedown cruise. Loving it. Slim tapered neck, smooth fret ends, and fantastic tones out of these pickups. Really, nicely made. Wish I had had it at the gig we played today. More later. 🙂 That looks sharp! I went with the rose gold which looks good too, but the TV Wheat looks much better in your photos then I thought online. Happy NGD! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine did have a poker chip in the black plastic bag. I’ll put a link for the video here in case anyone is curious to see it.

Phil OKeefe Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 The Pelham Blue and Cardinal Red are the two that are really tempting me. I can't really decide on which one, but I am probably going to wait a while. I already have three Les Pauls, and I just bought a second MESA amp, and it's time for my annual update to my Pro Tools Ultimate perpetual license... not to mention the fact that the holidays are right around the corner, so I need to watch the cash outlay. But I'm pretty sure I'm going to wind up with one of these eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'd LOVE a new 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue Limited Edition Murphy Lab Aged With Brazilian Rosewood (whew, that's a LONG name - lol). It's going to be a tough year for the elves. 😉 I very recently purchased a MESA/Boogie Mark Five: 25 head and 1x12 open back cabinet to go along with my Fillmore 25 for stereo, so that's my holiday present this year. But again, if the elves happen to pack one of those '59s into Santa's sleigh with my name on it, or even one of these cool Les Paul Modern Lites, I certainly wouldn't complain! 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, back then, I was “Captain Pants”. 😆 I still talk to Roy on occasion and some of the old cats from back in the day. Time flies!

The ones I have seen in the past (the LP Less Plus etc), from the front you cant even tell its any different from a normal sized one... Maybe if these do well they will do some more. Let us know how it performs at the gig 👍 Edited December 13, 2023 by Rabs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta say, it's really a great guitar. I like it better than the brand new Studio Modern that is releasing soon, to be honest. Even with that studios Phase-reversal, solo switch, and coil tapping abilities, I find the Modern Lite to just be a no frills / no BS / rocker. Super comfortable, super good sounding, super solid! It didn't even occur to me until recently that it's pretty much the same build as the 2014 Melody Makers. Probably same tooling. Difference being those had a fat 50's and these are obviously Slim taper. Cheers! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
