    Well, other than the vintage 59 type frets, african mahogany, and one piece R9 big profile neck.

    Awesome. Just ignore the chanting outside your window tonite. Just close your eyes and go to sleep. No worries.

    +1 on the orville by gibson, and certain grecos and burnys

    but considering that the OP's a young guy (still at school?), i think the edwards could be a good way to go.
    the assumed knowledge re learning about all the asian LP copies, finding some decent ones, and not getting ripped off in buying one is considerable.
    and aside from leaning towards tall frets, i don't see where the edwards doesn't fit the bill
    new or used is the real difference IMO

    did it ever occur odd to you that phrases in "ancient sumerian" still rhyme once translated to english?

    So ignoring Internet Myth for a moment, what facts does anyone possess regarding "weight relieved" Les Pauls directly relating to the process' effect on tone?

    I'm not talking about the LesPaul Lights from the 80s (travesty that they were), either.

    It would be pretty hard to get any conclusive data. You'd have to build each guitar first as a solid body, then with weight relief. There's too much variability within wood of even the same tree to get meaningful outcome just comparing a couple of chambered and solid guitars next to one another.

    I like the idea of a Burny, Greco, Tokai, or Edwards.
    Either one would suit my needs just fine.
    I am just gonna wait for the right deal. Thanks for all the input.

    I'd love to have a LP style guitar, but it is highly unlikely that I would ever spend the $$$ for the real deal. I wouldn't play it often enough to justify the expense.

    Agile guitars are sweet looking. I dig ESP as well.

    What is the price of the Edwards?
