I have been in love with them since I was 14 yrs old but theyre also hard to keep in tune. Ive had someones cheap $300 Epiphone LP stay in tune sometimes better than one of my old expensive Gibsons. But I still love em. My superstrats have Floyds or Kahlers so theyre a little easier to work with, for me. Some guys dont like messing with floating trems, I love em.
I am an old guy so the Floyds and the Kahlers just never hit it for me. That said, Gibson's G-Force tuning machines don't cut it for me either (while in "theory" I think they are pretty cool).
I do agree with some LPs not staying in tune. I have owned about six or so LPs in my life and had one that the G string would not stay in tune. Solid guitar with amazing tone. The nut, tuner and bridge were fine ... just some bad mojo with me. Met an older guy at a neighborhood party (father of my neighbor) who said he played SO we went back to my house with a bottle of Booker. He plugged in to my Twin and it stayed in tune for him (amazing jazz player that copped "T-Bone Shuffle" perfectly). It was a red flame top Standard with gold hardware that I bought in Houston back in the early 90's and he had to have it and a Hamer FM that I had. I didn't even give him a price and he just through out a stupid number to which I said that was "really high" and he said "cool" and wrote a check. When I asked about the airline and "checking it" he said no worries, he had his own plane. I hear from him from time to time ... still raves about "my" guitars and asks if I want to sell the Tele that Fender built for me when my daughter was born. No chance of that.
