Kinda ditto for me. I never quite got an LP tone I liked. I think once I discovered PRS Singlecuts, I just never bothered with LP's again. They feel....clunky to play. I might be alone in that sentiment, but I dunno....just didn't fit with me.I read an interview with Paul McCartney where he was talking about his rare left handed 50-something Les Paul. He was excited to record an album with it but once they started recording, his 60’s Epiphone semi hollow body with P90’s always sounded better. Paul was bummed. But he still plays the Les Paul live.
I’ve never been able to get a great sound out of a Les Paul unless my amp was cranked. So when I was playing clubs Five nights a week I gigged with a Gibson ES-335 or ES-355. Sounded better.
Reminds me of another video I came across in my travels. It was Rhett Shull. I dont usually watch him, but this one was his bud trying to get him to give PRS a second chance, as he tried the entire spectrum of the line previously and seemed mostly unimpressed. He has the same complaint everytime, the same one you've heard a bazillion times by now: PRS has a lack of "personality". Translation: PRS make consistently fine instruments, but me like the clunk.
