(Even if you’re joking .)
Don’t play it, don’t even open the case, just sell it. Use the money to buy a guitar you like, if you really need another one...
Don’t fall into the trap of using the guitar your heroes did if it doesn’t suit you. We’re all different, and what fits one person doesn’t necessarily work for another.

Why not give it a really good go i.e put all your other guitars away and just play that one for six months. You will likely become a lot more comfortable and familiar with it.
When that period is out of the way, then you will 'really' know whether it's for you or not. Let the Mrs know this is exactly what you're going to do and at least then if it doesn't work out then she knows you've made a proper decision and doesn't think the decision is fad-like.
It's the Precision bass of the guitar world.
Flog the LP and but the Mrs something nice for Christmas with the money (jewellery, nothing electrical!). Tell her you wanted to sell it to buy her something nice. You get rid of something you don't want, don't need to find extra cash for Christmas presents for her, and placate the Mrs to the tune of so much happy sex and good cooking. Then buy something you really want in the sales with the Christmas present money you haven't had to find!
Keeping a guitar that you don't enjoy playing is a complete waste of money and space.
Sell it and enjoy the nice feeling of a lump of cash sitting in your pocket waiting to be spent on something you really want.
I kind of regret selling it. It's done now and I've even thought about selling more guitars. Being on this forum does make it easier to justify owning multiples of guitars.
How much of a c**t does it make me to back out of a sale? I think I might have to go through with it, having agreed to it and all, although no money has changed hands yet or anything. But I got this one for 1500 back in 2016 and looking at the prices of these things now, if I ever wanted another one again...which, let's face it, is bound to happen.
Anyone recommend a good therapist?
Seems to work for a happy household!
