‘56 Les Paul or ‘59 335?

That’s a tough decision, and I get why you’re torn. The '56 Les Paul is solid and compact, great if you prefer a guitar that feels closer to your body. On the other hand, the '59 335 with the Bigsby has a more open, resonant sound, though it does come with a larger body. If the size has bothered you in the past, it’s something to keep in mind. Either way, both guitars bring something special to the table.
This was addressed by the OP on October 25 in post # 38. The OP went with the Les Paul.
