A Rickenbacker 4002 with Rotosounds will cut through anything.

I love a Rickenbacker, wish I had one.

I like heavy guitars and Basses.

Great gear. Do you like the 73 Gibson les paul humbucker sound? I am more of a single coil type myself. (Fender 57 re-issue Strat and the PRS Mcarty I have is a P-90....a single coil wrapped big like a humbucker)

But I have a Gibson les paul Special SL (it has a thinner body, the only les paul I can keep on my shoulders) at home, it has humbuckers, but I hardly ever use it...just for weddings and stuff.

I had a Gibson les paul studio, but it was just too heavy for me...though it got an awesome sound....I ended up selling it because I just could not wear it for long periods of time without it hurting my shoulders! And I had a very comfortable strap, but it did not help much...I play standing up most of the time in church.

I really like the sound of the 73' Les Paul Custom. It's real bluesy, but can Rock and scream when you need it to.

I love the tones of a good strat as well. But Have never owned a true USA strat.

I have never had any trouble standing and playing all day long with my Les Paul. Heavy Guitars do not bother me.

I like a guitar with heft to it my self. I bet that 57' re-issue is heavier than some.

I have played some re-issue Fenders that wear kinda chunky. I love em' heavy.

Well most of my guitars are pretty light...though my 57 is a little heavier than my PRS Mcarty Soapbar.

But like I said, I LOVE les pauls and their sound, but the only one I can strap on for any length of time is my Gibson Les Paul Special SL http://www.gibson.com/whatsnew/press...98/Sep10a.html (stands for sans lacquer....it was a way they cured the finish faster than the regular way they did les pauls and thus was able to have a lower price. The body kinda reminds me of a les paul "lite"...because it is thinner.) But the best part, is that you can buy these guitars on ebay for about $400.00 to $500.00! I got mine for $300.00 even. Not bad for an american made Gibson les paul.

I play several instruments including the bass and guitar. I love playing but seldom get the opportunity due to my busy schedule.

I do, occassionally, play the bass at our place when the bass player has to work over. I probably enjoy the bass more than any of the other instruments I play.

When it comes to a banjo, you can tell in a heart beat if it's a good banjo or not by the weight... a good banjo will always be heavy. The heavier they are the better the tone.
