Nigel...saw Al DEMiola at the last concert with Chick Corea, Lenny White ans Stanley Clarke here in Lexington in the late 70's...last time that band played together.

I hear what you're saying about the weight of Les Pauls. I bought a Heritage Lite, which is a superb instrument...a lot lighter. In photos, I've seen Al with anES 175...is that his regular electric now?
