What are your thoughts on thin body "lite" LPs?

[greatmutah]

They’re not bad. I played a Studio Lite years ago that was solid. And a buddy of line has a Custom Showcase Edition in gold with EMGs that has the lite size body and that thing was always cool to me. My Heritage H-150 Special is also a little thinner than my Studio but it sounds great.

I actually measured the edges of each of my LPs once. The H150 Special was the thinnest. Studio was next. Standard and R7 were both thicker than the Studio but about the same. Not a huge difference either. Like 1/8 to 1/4 inch. H-157 (LP Custom) was the thickest.

Gross and no. Friends don't let friends buy half Pauls.

Yeah, I think I agree.
I was trying to talk myself into it because the price was good but it a thin LP with the archtop doesn't look right.
I'd probably would get a Special or Jr if I'd go that route.

On topic - I never tried one but I would do Special/Jr or most likely an SG as a backup

I love my SGs. They’re not exactly the same as an LP but they’re damn cool. Super comfy to play too. I may put some Brandonwound T-Top clones in my Special. And I’d love a LP Special or Junior. I’m also pro P90 so there’s that.

I like em, my buddy had a Custom Lite with the baked maple fretboard.

It's an unholy abomination but sounded and played great :shrug:

Custom lite id pick up for $750. Any other not so much. I've never played a custom lite but been told they are like an SG.

I think it's a Classic Lite...

750 still a good deal on that, id personally just pass on it unless you play it an its amazing. But Id have a hard time passing up the custom lite, i dont know but I always liked those, the 80's and the later models.

Normally I'd say don't do it, but for $750 I'd probably do it

Yeah I was supposed to go see it last weekend but we canceled because of the weather. I'll go this weekend. The price is really good, but I can't wrap my head around the idea of a thin LP that is not a Special or Jr.

I like SGs too. I've had several over the years. Wouldn't mind buying another one.

Unless this is an easy flip, no.

They feel and look cheap af. You’re better than this and it wouldn’t last one rehearsal. You’d have better luck swapping your DSL rig for a modeling rig.
