I'm primarily a bass player but also play guitar. I do music for several television shows. I need guitars that stay in tune so that I'm not constantly having to stop in the middle of recording a track. I have an American HSS Strat that I like quite a bit because I can get a variety of tone from it. I've always wanted a Gibson Les Paul so a few years ago, I bought a Gibson Traditional. It was ok but I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. Last year, I acquired a Gibson Classic Les Paul Gold Top with P90 pickups. It played and sounded great but would not stay in tune. I couldn't play it for than 30 to 45 seconds without having to stop and tune it. Yesterday, I traded it for a PRS CE24. WOW! What a difference. The PRS sounds better, plays better and stays in tune no matter how much I bend strings, use the whammy bar or how hard I play. Great guitar. I'm very happy that I made the trade.
