 And the funny thing, I don't normally like low flat style frets, but the luthiers at Gibson just got it right with this L5s. It requires the the lightest touch to fret a note. And the multi-piece neck is the most stable neck I have ever owned. I set the truss-rod 7 years ago, and it hasn't moved since.   And it's not just this one, as I have another one that plays almost as good...  My PRS has taller chunkier frets...  and although I have them dressed and polished as good as possible, they just don't feel as comfortable as the L5s, and I spent a lot of time trying to get them there. It's the one thing that keeps me from loving my PRS because it has killer tone. Of course, it has has to do with personal choice, and what feels good to the player. I'm sure many people wouldn't like my L5s because they would feel the action is TOO low!!! But the PRS sounds absolutely stellar!!! The original pickups were as bland as pickups could be so I had Wolvetone wind me a custom set for it. Well he knocked it out of the park with the pickups. It turned my PRS into a serious tone machine and choice of mine for live play over many really good guitars. I've played plenty new PRS guitars (and owned a SC245 with 57/08 pickups) and I feel his new pickups are way better than the original Dragons in my guitar! In this demo I go through all the positions of the Wolfetones (Dr Vintage/Marshallhead) through the stock PRS five way switch and electronics... and if you like dirty...

When I get sore fingertips I can sometimes play my flat-wound electric bases. I fret the basses strings from a different angle, and they're fatter too. When it's sore joints and sore fingertips, there's aways the U-Bass with it fat low-tension nylon strings.
On electrics, low action doesn't preclude problems in that I'm addicted to string bending and other legato techniques that mean I'm pressing down. Higher, jumbo frets help a little.

 Same here, reach for a full size acoustic bass or uke with double bass sound. I do the same in fingering also to avoid the road grooves after calling it a day on the 6-string acoustic steel and electrics.

When my fingers need a break, I go for my J-45. It happens to be set up so well right now that it plays almost like an electric.

I am fortunate that all of my guitars are setup well right now. But the easiest to play is the Larrivee LV-04.

DBW, playing guitar while watching hockey...
 I'll reach for my Les Pauls with 9s on them (not 10s) to give my fingers a break. Most of my other electrics have 9s on them anyway so I'm good to go.
