I'm guessing it would be wise to bring it in to a store. Besides new strings and a set up, is there anything else I should have them do?

Might not be a bad idea to get a comfy strap that you really like. It absolutely makes a huge difference in how comfortable you are playing it. I remember when I stopped borrowing this cheap strap off my buddy’s guitar that he wasn’t using and bought a nice comfy strap for my bass. It was like night and day. Just a huge quality of life increase when playing.

Have you gotten an amp yet?

Kb, I haven't bought the amp yet. From your advice, I've been researching the differences between the Boss Katana 50, fender mustang lt25, and the orange crush line. Will be buying this week. I know the katana is the best of the three, but I'm not sure I need that much amp for just playing for myself.

After feeling how heavy the Les Paul is, I am definitely getting a comfortable strap.

I dropped the guitar off at the local music shop yesterday. At first glance, the selector switch wasn't activating the neck pickup, but he fixed that in 2 seconds. He also said the neck was bowed a little, needed a cleaning, new strings and a proper setup.

The guitar should be ready tomorrow. He said I can go in and plug in to and try any amps before I buy to see what sound/features I like.
