This is something that depends from model to model. But, if you are asking in general, then it is true that Les Paul is perfect for small hands. Usually, Les Paul guitars come up with small-scale length, which means that their frets will not be far apart, and this makes chord shifting much easier. Also, a Les Paul is most of the time a thin-necked guitar, and we bet our lives that there is no better option for short and small hands than a thin-necked guitar.
