Would you guys add anything else to this list to make a Les Paul more liveable and lovable? Any other guitars you'd like me to add to this series?
Enjoy :)

Only having 1 guitar helps "cope" with the down sides🤣

[doubleone]

I believe that a guitar chooses the player. The great thing is that there is a guitar for anyone.

Ways you get along:
1 Ask how it's doing.
2 Tell it your name.
3 Be good friends.

3:20 I couldn't stop staring at the Low E being out of the saddle >.<

I'll never understand hating on LPs. They are just iconic and beautiful on every level.

[iNoelles]

Guitar is not made to be hated. They're perfect at their own way :)

I’ve been a Les Paul guy for 50 years. Bought my first strat 5 years ago. Love both for different reasons.

[judih.]

Good points for any player. We all fall in and out of love with gear.

A tip for people who want to wrap the strings over the tailpiece... Keep the ball ends from old strings and slip the new strings through them before running them through the tailpiece. They act like a spacer and will keep the unsightly first part of the strings mostly inside the tailpiece so they wrap over nicer. Looks better too. Or, just use the tailpiece normally, and raise it. If you aren't sure about over-wrapping, keep in mind, it will cause marks/damage to the top of your tailpiece after a short while, so if you don't want to ruin your tailpiece, just raise it instead.

Such a first world problem 'learning to live with a $4000 guitar'

[CujoDeSockpuppet]

1. String butler
2. Babicz bridge
3. Lighter strings - hell yes (I have extra jumbos)
4. Push pull pots are awesome
5. I grease the nut slots.

I did all 10 of your suggestions on my LP and now I love it again. The tone is now incredible. Thanks so very much.

[akasgsvirgil]

I love the intro where he chucks the guitar on the roof of the shed and then falls on his face as he runs back towards the house. Effin priceless. That alone earned a sub! :-)

[ponzo]

Finally! I got my Les Paul set up perfect! It only took me six years. I do love it now instead of resenting it.

[KakuraZenom]

Les Paul are the best looking guitar ever made. Thats the only reason why my first electric guitar was a Les Paul, and I still love it :D

[PickupsAreNotTrucks]

When I learned to use the volume and tone on my Les Pauls, it completely changed my guitar playing. There are just so many incredible tones at your fingertips. Straight into a dirty amp and almost everything imaginable is right there built into the guitar with the knobs and switch. Damn, I love a Les Paul. Or any 2 volume, 2 tone guitar, really.

I played fenders for years and just recently got me a Les Paul standard gold top 50s edition. I can’t put that thing down. I love the Gibson scale length over the fender all day long now. I can’t believe I’ve never played a Les Paul before.

[melodystrong]

I had 10's on my LP, but wasn't really excited about how they felt. So I changed to 9.5s, and now, it plays like it has 9s, but sounds like it has 10s. I'm now pretty happy overall with the guitar.

If you hate a LP, become a guitar tech and make adjustments. You will be rewarded with an axe with a ton of balls.
