How does the Zakk Les Paul play and weight, is it heavy?

It plays great if you like a thinner neck on a LP. The neck on the maple boarded LPC that I had was like a bat and I actually liked it alot. The EMGs sound great in the Zakk.

The neck is not that heavy for an LPC. My guess would be around 9 lbs. I think that maple boarded LPC weighed around 12 lbs. The tone was incredible.

Late 70's-1980 LPCs with Maple neck do have slim neck.
That is what I want.
Zakk's LPC is 1980.The last year of Maple neck on LPC.
So that is why Zakk model comes with slim neck.

From 1981, they changed it back with Mahogany neck.
Maple Fingerboard option started in 1977.

A buddy of mine has a '93 LP Studio. Black,with chrome h/w and ebony board. Beat to **** and covered with stickers. That bloody thing goes like a rocket, even with stock pickups!

Here's my '04 Studio Vintage Mahogany MF/GC Exclusive (even the top is mahogany [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]) that's got the faded/worn cherry finish. The pups are now a ZW set with the 85 in the bridge and 81 in the neck. I also changed the tailpiece to a fine-tuning TP6 and put on a leather DiMarzio Cliplock strap. It sounds awesome to me. I haven't played any other LPs in a very long time.

Re: Best Playing Les Paul?

I'll agree with ToeJam...I like the way Studios play the best out of all Les Pauls. I just can't play those fretless wonder Customs, but I love how they sound! But I like the PRS Singlecut or a Hamer better than any Gibson I've ever touched!

Re: Best Playing Les Paul?

anyone with the 60's slim taper neck, thats the thin small one, like on 61 SG reissues. A shop by my house has 2 historics both have 50's rounded necks but they are the lightest LPs ive ever touched. one is even lighter than a SG & the tone of these things is insane & im not a big fan of gibby pickups.
