Hello guys,
I am curious about my 2009 R6 VOS Gold Top weighing in at 9.7lbs (9lbs, 11.2oz.). I’ve never had an issue with weight but it seem one this heavy would be a bastard child to everyone. Plays amazing and sounds great to me and man, what a huge FAT neck this has. :yah.
Is the weight people complain about an actual weight issue because of playing live or is lighter better for tone.
I never really worried until I googled Gold Top Re-issues and all everyone talked about was how 8lb-8.5lb Pauls were the ones to have and anything over 9 was looked down on. I remember back when I was young the heavier the Paul the better, heavy was a thing back 30 years ago.
I have owned lots of Les Paul and currently still own 6
R6 Gold Top VOS
R7 LPB3 Black Custom 3-pickup
R9 Relic tea-burst
R0 light Cherry burst
91 Custom Cherry Burst
76 Custom Cherry Burst
Thanks
