The strings that are fitted will also make a difference to your initial impression-my tokai was fitted with 11`s which for my weedy fingers felt like cheese wires!
The shop chappie soon fittted a new set of 9`s and set up the the guitar.
The difference was night and day.

although a LP sounds (IMHO) much better with chunkier strings -- they're supposed to be fat sounding!
