I'm actually in the market for a new guitar and being a les paul player the idea of paying the thick end of a lot of cash for something that spends a lot of time propped up in the corner of the front room and having to drag it across the room due to the weight I'm seriously considering getting an Eastman which seems to tick all the boxes, lighter, no stupid splitting options, seems a win win to me.

Modern Les Pauls have chambering to reduce the weight. Although an SG is lighter still.
