Re: humbucker leg length for epiphone les paul?
Long legs are vintage correct for the classic Gibson designs. Short legs were introduced for guitars with shallower pickup cavities (PRS etc...).
Either long or short will be fine in a Les Paul.

what year was yours? mine is a 2012 custom pro. the cavity isn't that deep and the wires from the switch run directly underneath the left leg and the leg sits right on top of them, forcing the pickup upwards. the stock "probuckers" both have short legs. now i gotta find some 59s with short legs.

I have a bunch of Duncan's, and the only ones that won't fit an average Epi LP slot are the Alnico Staples. Never had a problem with any other."Completely Conceded Glowing Expert."
"And Blueman, I am pretty sure you've pissed off a lot of people."
"Wait, I know! Blueman and Lew can arm wrestle, and the winner gets to decide if 250K pots sound good or not."

yep, "Probuckers" have short legs. My guitar was made by Samick in Indonesia. that may explain why it has shallow cavities instead of deeper ones on the Chinese made Epi's. Would 59 trembuckers have short legs? or a Screamin Demon? i hear the demon sounds great in a les paul.
