I started my latest guitar search with the thought that I wanted a Les Paul. Began drilling down the choices and got pretty disillusioned. They are really hard to buy online-total crapshoot. Historic prices have shot thru the roof-just
too much money for me in the context of the other gear I plan to pick up this year. Began looking into Singlecuts and discovered the SC-58. It looks like a perfect solution for me but there aren't any local to see or play. This worries me
way less because of PRS QC, but I am still flying blind.
So-a couple of questions.
I would prefer a lighter weight piece. Is there such a thing as too light as it pertains to an SC-58? The range I am finding is 8 to 9 lbs.
I am torn on finish selection. I initially was targeting a burst of some sort but I don't love the teardrop look on the darker bursts. A couple of more unusial colors have caught my eye-Faded Gray Black and Black Slate.
As I have been out of the loop on obsessive PRS discussion for a few years, is there still an aversion to certain finishes in the resale market?
I know these are semi-inane questions but cut me a little slack here!
Thanks
