Hey everyone.......I've got a 76 LP Custom and it's looking like it could use some fret work or maybe even a re-fret. My first question is.......will the neck binding be damaged by a re-fret???
Next question please........I LOVE the neck and scale on this LP. In all these years I've never found a better neck IMO. However.......the LP is getting heavier as I get older...........yes....I know.....don't complain.......but it is feeling SO heavy sometimes. I might cut back on how much I play the 76.....so I thought I might pick up something else to play on. I've tried lots of guitars at CG. Maybe I'm just being blind......but somehow the necks don't feel like the LP. I know the radius of this one could be special somehow.......or the frets could be special.......but can anyone point me to a guitar that might feel similar (and sound similar) in the Gibson family.........and might be lighter as well? I know....seems like a dumb question right? Just go try out some at GC. No luck there....so it must be me.
