Do heavier Les Pauls sound better?
Heavier guitars generally have better sustain, and more resonance than lighter guitars. This is often due to the wood type, and the body size. Thicker guitar bodies, cause the tone to be fuller, warmer and louder. ... Hollow body guitars on the other hand, have a more acoustic sounding tone.
Are Les Pauls overpriced?
Materials wise, they are expensive to make (much more so than a Fender) but you will still find boutique builders who will build a Les Paul that will cost in the range of 2-3K. The reason Gibson charges more is because of all the money they pour into advertising, endorsements, and research and development.
