I’ve since learned they are weight relieved and don’t have the ebony fret board.. so does it compare more to a standard than a custom in playability?
Is that based on being 9+ lbs alone? Actual Les Paul Customs are weight relieved and get in the 11 lb range. Highly doubtful a Custom Classic wouldn't be.
Well, if you are asking if i have ripped my guitars apart to see if it's been swissed cheesed, no I havent. Lol.
All of the Classic Customs (in both releases) have weight relief. The 2011-2012 version had the 9-hole Swiss cheese weight relief and the 2007-2008 version were chambered, and therefore were generally lighter. They did not make any without some kind of weight relief. Most of the 2011-2012s were between 8.5-9.5 lbs, so yours being 9+ lbs isn't unusual.
My 2011 has the baked maple fretboard and I also have several Customs with ebony (and a couple with Richlite) and I will say the playability isn't that much different. If you closed your eyes and were handed one you'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference.
This is what I was read online.. so it would seem @twilt was misleading me into believing there were some without Swiss cheese..
Jezus. For real? This is exactly why I don't join and post on forums. I probably should have said these are not lightweight regardless of any weight relief they may have. But I didnt. My intention was not to lie, mislead or misinform anyone here. Weight relief to me means lightweight and these are certainly not that. Jokingly or not, to get called out and crucified for a misunderstanding, not nice. Fuck off. Ban me for life. Dont care.This is what I was read online.. so it would seem @twilt was misleading me into believing there were some without Swiss cheese..
I guess being a newbie you’ll say anything to get noticed and gain some credibility..which is very rare for this forum and never happens .. lol (I’ve never done this .. honest)
I had my hopes ups for one without the cheese holes.. but @twilt has ruined that hope .. and yes I’m milking this moment of untruths and lies that’s been told.. it’s absolutely disgusting and unforgivable
tbh.. I’ve gone off the whole classic custom thing now.. because of @twilt .. you are a ruiner of dreams and a crusher of hope.. how do you sleep and night..
I’m thinking I might change my screen name to drama lama..
Bonjour.
Not real.. I was being satirical .. and trying to deflect the conversation.. it doesn’t matter.. but escalation into foul language is inappropriate. You knew I was joking but yet you felt the need to “go there” it’s easier to accept the knowledge gained from other comments and move on. We’re here to learn not defend an ego.
Appreciate your review.. I’d like to have a feel/play of one tbh..
