    Default The Ultimate Les Paul on the planet earth.

    I'm going to fill the weight relief holes on my Les Paul with a led shot and concrete mix to create a 16 pound monster rock machine.
    Im' into Heavy metal so I figured why not ?

    Awesome idea. Make sure you fill the truss rod cavity with cement to balance it out.

    Why cement? Why not used randomly polarized super strong magnets and just fit the holes to them?

    Atomic pick ups and a bridge and stop tail made of lead are the answer. For a heavier sound (if that's too light) go for strings made from overhead electric cables .... OR, if you have SRV fingers... you could go for the cables they lay on the sea bed!!

    I have a better idea. Waterproof the holes with wax and then fill them up with beer. You would be the first! LOL!

    Perhaps you could fill the relief holes with the planet Earth itself, then skip around the galaxies, spreading the message of rock across the universe.

    I say add more holes. lots of them. then paint it yellow until it looks like a block of cheeze.

    If you want really heavy, just use a teaspoon of neutron star. Or depleted uranium, heavy enough that they make anti-tank rounds out of it. Or just get some old fasioned cast iron weights and mill them down to size. Or fill them with the souls of the ****ed. Or the souls of the saved, your choice.

    my question is, if putting cement in a guitar makes it heavier, then putting helium or maybe hydrogen in those chambers would... make you sound like eric johnson or queen or ryan adams right?

    I actually heard Robert Smith was using balloon guitars on this current tour so he can sound lighter than air.
