Hoping that grabbed some attention!
Having played Drop C with Beefy Slinkies since I was 18 (I'm 30), I picked up a Telecaster HH a few months back and set it up in Drop D, with Regular Slinkies (10s).
Every time I go to my Les Paul in Drop C with Beefy Slinkies now, it feels clunky and slow. Great power and the low C is real nice for palm-muting.. but it's just not as fun for lead work.
I find the Tele can flub out a little if I chug too hard, but otherwise it's more fun to play, with their current setups.
I can only wonder if an extended range guitar in Drop C with lighter strings would help me here?
I have this overwhelming desire to set my Les Paul up in Drop D with 10s.. but don't like the idea of not having a Drop C guitar..
I'd appreciate advice from anyone with a larger guitar collection, which includes longer-scale guitars, who enjoys liquid lead runs as much as chunky palm-muting.
Thanks
