• THIS IS THE 25th ANNIVERSARY YEAR FOR THE LES PAUL FORUM! PLEASE CELEBRATE WITH US AND SUPPORT US WITH A DONATION TO KEEP US GOING! We've made a large financial investment to convert the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and now have to move to a new host. We also have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!
  • WE ARE MOVING THE LES PAUL FORUM TO A NEW HOSTING PROVIDER OVER THE NEXT 5-10 DAYS. We will experience downtime during that period. Please be patient and have confidence that we will return! Many thanks, Mike Slubowski, Admin

Back around 1980 I 'designed' what I thought was the perfect solidbody:

Double-cut Junior shape
Neck-though body or deep tenon
Tele bridge or hardtail Strat bridge, strings through the back
Tele bridge pickup
Humbucker neck pickup with splitter

Might have been neck-heavy (a deal-killer for me) but it sounded great on paper! :biggrin:

That being said, I'm pretty much an Esquire/Tele and Les Paul guy. My 'desert island' guitar for many years was a certain '56 Esquire.
