Absolutely love my Les Paul Standard 60's. Sure its not as ergonomic as a Strat and can be a little uncomfortable to play for long periods of time, but there's nothing that sounds like it. I question the people who complain about the headstock design. Yes, its prone to breaking. But this is a $2500+ guitar, what are you doing that makes it so easy to break? I handle my Les Paul as if it were a baby and it's life depended on me.
