Have you tried a PRS MT15 amp? I played one at the dealer, and was pretty impressed. They can be had used for around $500.

I think the OP wanted to know what he was missing not having owned a Les Paul. Of course the right answer is don’t listen to other people’s opinions and find out for yourself. Which is exactly what he did.

I can’t speak specifically as to a Les Paul Custom, but the difference's between my Les Paul Standard and both my 2007 core and 594 SE McCarty’s is significant. Both of them are quite a bit lighter, although the Les Paul isn’t terribly heavy at 8 pounds 6 ounces. The McCarty’s are both a little...

Indeed. Was it the same Peter Frampton show that was recorded for Comes Alive?

Nice board! Do you use the flanger a lot? I am thinking about trying one. I have a Verb O Trem as well but run my delay into it instead.

That would have been awesome. Did you get to see Mike Bloomfield?

I got to see them once in their heyday and about 15 years ago after Rod and Dave were gone. I think I liked Savoy Brown just a little bit better, but they both defined the genre. It’s hard to tell the difference between them on this recording but Rod always sounded a bit more toppy, what with...

I’m sitting on mine, even though I have recently sold three but bought four, they are all being played. I given my son two which means I am down to six, which seems manageable. Those are all electrics, I have five acoustics as well.

Congrats!

You won’t regret it. Great guitar.

I bought a 594 McCarty SE shortly before my S2 Vela. I also have a core McCarty I bought new in 2007. The S2 Vela has the same feel of quality as the core McCarty, and it has a greater range of sounds. The core MC is special though. I have grown to really like the 594 SE, though it did have a...

My core SAS and McCarty both had wide/fat necks, but the SAS definitely felt chunkier with maple neck and fretboard than the McCarty, which had a mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard.

Do you know what models you tried?

Hamer USA Studio P90 Epiphone 59 Reissue Les Paul Hofner Verythin Peavey Reactor

PRS account for 2/3 of my electric guitars.

You chose well, congrats!

TGP. High signal to noise ratio, but there are some ok people over there. Used to be on the Strat page but got sick of the snobbery.

I’m going to say this, have you thought about another amp?

I noticed two small spots next to the fretboard on my 2007 McCarty where the finish cracked. It isn’t detectable physically, only visually.

I have really become a fan of the 58/15-S pickups.
