This is my first post here. I've just recently dedicated myself to playing electric (I've played fingerstyle acoustic for nearly 15 years). Now, I'm starting searching for my ideal electric tone. And therefore, I'm not very good at describing what I'm looking for. But, maybe, you can offer me a suggestion or two.
I have a Les Paul Classic with stock p/u's... 496 & 500 (ceramic and hot). I'm looking to swap them. I play mostly classic rock type stuff. Think classic Les Paul & Marshall sound. I want something full and warm, definitely not thin or piercing. I wouldn't say I need super high output. But, I do want it to get mean and growl occasionally.
The tone wizard suggests JB or Custom 5 bridge and Jazz or 59 neck. From the tone samples I've listened to, I'm leaning towards a JB and 59 combo. Am I on the right track? How about a seth in the neck? How about a PG bridge?
As you can see, I'm pretty lost. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks
