My entire childhood, I was a diagnosed Fender freak. I played a Fender Mustang and thought Fender was the be-all end-all. I always viewed the Gibson Les Paul as a large piece of furniture. A few years ago I purchased a Gibson NightHawk. It played nice enough. Then a friend offered to sell me his old Les Paul Deluxe for a sweet price. I am now a card-carrying Les Paul convert. I love the low profile frets, which they have called "the fretless wonder". I love the mini-humbuckers, which offer a nice balance between single coil crunch and Les Paul wall of sound. It weight a ton, but is a great player. It is my favorite axe in the whole arsenal.
