I miss my LP Classic with the P90s but I don't miss the weight. I'd love one of those Les Pauls that are just thinner and lighter, maybe with comfort carves, but everyone that does them seem to also need to change the body design in ways that they never look right to me.

The slim 60s Gibson neck was probably the nicest neck I've played, thin enough to play quickly but with chunk to make me feel confident.

I'd like an LP but like... add a double cut and a belly carve and a forearm contour, add a 9.5 radius neck and go ahead and make it 25.5" scale
and instead of the stop-tail give me 6-saddle adjustable style

the lp modern lite was a lot different, thiner, contoured, more comfortable than I thought when I picked one up in the store. but I can just play my sg instead

a trapeze tailpiece takes it further and looks cool as hell

Not sure on the Ibanez, but my Hondo has a belly cut.

I've noodled on the LP a bit and yeah I don't think I like that thing at all. I like the Rickenbacker a lot more but I blew a string so I need to deal with that. (I've decided to just get a full setup done on it since who knows when it last had any sort of maintenance.)

More solid body guitars need trapeze tailpieces imo

Sounds like some of y’all with wrist/hand comfort/ergonomic issues may enjoy multiscale necks.

E: my main guitar is 25.5 to 27” and not only is it super comfortable but I like the string tension more than a standard neck too. Only thing I don’t like more is barre chords below like the 5th fret or so, but who wants to play those anyway.
