I understand what you mean, when I've tried some Gibson LP Standards at my local shop I always feel as if they are going to fall, maybe it's because I'm used to the strat & in¡banez which are so well balanced, they just sit right there in your lap and don't ever move.
Then again I only tried LPs for a few minutes, so i don't really know if they would actually fall when playing sitting down, but your story certainly made me remember my short time playing them. They are beautiful guitars nonetheless and I know I'll get one some day, but their thick neck, uncomfortable high fret access (compared to strats/ibanez and SGs) and weight makes me wonder if it will ever be the right axe for me I'm sure you'll love that 2550 man

Most Les Pauls are really light. Every Gibson USA Les Paul between 1982 - 2007 is weight-relieved, 2007+ is chambered. This took me some time to get use to for originally playing a much heavier guitar. It's better playing standing up (well balanced, but light enough to hold sideways 'or even over your head' and rip out solos, lol), but you do get use to it sitting down (feel light body, the neck can flip around easily), just be be really careful when you start playing it at first, I too nearly swung the neck around, but now I feel it's fine. I don't know... you get use to the light feel after a while - I never do that anymore.
Mine is a Double Cut Standard 98 with 24 frets, so a little more neck heavily but I love it, it's neck access and playing is a dream compared to others I've tried, super easy to access even to the highest 24th frets. The only issue I've ever had with it, is it has the classic '57/'59s pickups in, it sounds too sweet and smooth! Great for blues and rocks, but the pickups can't really attack metal and needs something 'hotter', so getting new pickups for it - fingers crossed. Tone: Perfect for rock/blues with no hum (just a bit vintage blues/rock rather than screaming metal) Weight: Light (good well balance for standing up, takes time to get use to sitting, all except for the SG which feel heavier and more balanced at sitting) Body: Excellent (for the 24th fret Double Cut, a bit more neck weight, but way more access, the best body shape I've ever used - standard cut has less access high frets but a nice neck still) I would suggest going with a different guitar for more metal screaming attack depending on how you like to play, but if you play smooth rock/blues I would say nothing can beat the gibson. If I can get both worlds with new pickups, it would be by far the best guitar I've played. Sorry to hear it didn't work out for ya, let me know how the '07 Ibanez Prestige RG2550E is, looks like a sweet axe as well. You should be able to play everything from Classical to extreme Death metal on her!
