    I'm out. I'll go learn more cover songs while thinking I'm a real musician. Maybe a steinberger or plexiglass guitar will help me nail sweet child of mine to no audience.
    man, if the military could bottle your energy we'd have a pretty potent nerve agent

    I don't have a preference, really.

    I think you misread my post. My Gibson is chambered, but it sounds slightly better, both plugged in and acoustically. It doesn't lack sustain whatsoever, although it is more focused and tighter, but that could be attributed to other factors like the Maple neck, the Maple top which the EC doesn't have, the bridge being closer to the bridge pickup, the slightly thinner body (Studios and Tributes are thinner than Standards), etc. I don't mind the chambering whatsoever. I don't think it has a negative effect on my guitar. It's probably the best-sounding guitar I've owned.


    I got the EC used, so no idea how or if it was setup prior. But I doubt they'd sell a used plek'd guitar for the price that I got it for. I do like the plek'ing on the Gibson, but I can get about the same low action on both. I don't know if LTD's are setup by ESP like PRS SE's are setup by PRS, but all the LTD's I've owned played great.

    I like Standards better too, if I must be honest.

    I used to not like burst finishes, but I suppose age is starting catch up with me. I still don't love those bright red, orangey, or completely yellow Les Pauls, though. I'll take tobacco or dark bursts.

    - If the Tribute is the best sounding guitar you've owned, don't even think about selling it. You can always find a use for it in a recording situation even if the other one is your main player.

    - You could also think about taking the neck profile down a little bit to make it closer to what you like.

    - LP Classics are great. You can find them for around $1500 on the verb.

    - Don't buy anything unless you can either play it first or return it.

    not many guitars are PLEK'd. Gibson USAs are. For the lowest action without dead notes and buzz the PLEK'd frets are the only option for me.
