THIS IS THE 25th ANNIVERSARY YEAR FOR THE LES PAUL FORUM! PLEASE CELEBRATE WITH US AND SUPPORT US WITH A DONATION TO KEEP US GOING!
We've made a large financial investment to convert the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and recently moved to a new hosting platform. We also have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

Hi, I have a 71 LP Custom, and a 98 LP DC Standard. The DC is much lighter due to the tone chambers within the body. The amount of sustain is very close to the amount I get from the Custom with it's totally solid body. Having only one tone and vol control make it a very easy guitar to use, esp since I usually only use one p/u at a time. Except for the noisy electronics in the DC, which I'm gradually upgrading, I'm pretty happy with the guitar.
