Oh man that thing looks awesome - good luck with the search! Because you totally deserve it!
My last purchase was a 2011 Les Paul Studio, not the sexiest full-bling LP but every time I pick it up I absolutely love playing it, it's right for me. And after playing a few newer ones I actually prefer the one I've got.
Thanks mate. It's been a hell of a ride the last few months.
I used to solely play Gibson SG's but I grabbed an Epiphone LP and it's incredible. Feels so different. The weight distribution is better as well.
Do you still play?
A nice SG would be next on my wish-list for sure. You're right they're very different to play, my old music teacher had one I used to get to use a little bit 20 years or so ago.
With a 5 year old and a crazy workload, I definitely don't get to play as much as I used to! Our little bloke is showing an interest in music though, my wife is steering him towards piano, I'm on Team Guitar, but we're not being pushy about it at all. IF he wants to learn an instrument at all it's entirely up to him!
Of course, the fact that the guitars and ukulele are now prominently mounted on the wall in the room right next to his bedroom had -nothing- to do with me... ;)
You're absolutely doing the right thing. I was musical from a young age, but unfortunately that wasn't really followed up on until I started singing and playing when I was 15. I think just having the stuff around would absolutely bring out that curiosity. And kids love making noise right? lol
