So I'm kicking around the idea of picking up a Les Paul. I checked a few out today, but I've got to admit, I haven't looked at them in years, so I don't know which ones are the good ones these days.
I found a Les Paul Classic in Honey Burst that had great resonance and you could feel the wood vibrating when you played. It was very alive. Others weren't so resonant.
Anyone have any tips for picking a Les Paul? Anything in particular I should stay away from or watch out for?
Cheers.
Edit: Oh, and what are your thoughts on the chambered bodies? Do they all come that way now? I did have an '80-something Les Paul a long time ago, but I sold it 'cause it was a back breaker. The new ones feel pretty light by comparison.
