ok heres the deal any thing and i mean any thing you do to a guitar changes the tone. the question should be how much.

Ok, how much?

No,dude,don't do that..all you will be doing is ruining a valuable instrument(if it is a Gibson)..To be honest,I feel like your post is just meant as a joke or something..

Just on the off chance that you are somehow serious,I will offer up these two suggestions

1) sell the guitar and buy one with a more comfortable feel...I suggest an SG,because they are similar to an LP on the fretboard,but are much more comfortable...

or

2)buy some of these that James is wearing

I'm not sure you understand. I'm not worried about ruining the value, it's the tone I care about. As long as it sounds the same, I'll probably keep it forever. And I've been trying to sell it for a long time, and it's pretty tough to get a buyer at a reasonable price, so thats not really an option

Ok, so I have this les paul classic that I don't really play anymore because the edges feel sharp (I'm not sure that's the best word to describe it), and it's uncomfortable to play. So i was wondering, if I sand around the back so its smoother, would that have a serious effect on the tone of the guitar?
