Hi, a while ago I tried a LP briefly while I was shopping for strings and some stuff. It was quite light so I asked the weight, and I was told it was 8.2lbs or so iirc. It sounded ok to me… It sounded kinda tele-ish and just, hmm, refused to rock. It didn’t have the LP rock tone to me, i felt like I was playing a Gibson PRS if you know what I mean. Heck, it even sounded more polite than my PRS.
Most famous LP’s I know are on the heavier side, not boat anchor heavy but above 8.5lbs at least, around 9lbs I believe. I was wondering if there are any famous ones that are light but still roar?
The one I tried makes me think, is it because it’s light so it didn’t rock, and all light LP’s sound like that, or simply because the pickups in it were too polite?
