Hows it going guys?
I'm new to the board, and eager to start messing around with my new guitar: An Epiphone Les Paul Custom Standard. Here's a link to the guitar
Here are the features:
Mahogany body and maple top
Set mahogany neck
Rosewood fretboard with block inlays
Bound body, neck, and headstock
2 humbuckers
Gold hardware
2 volume and 2 tone controls
3-way pickup switch
Now, based on this information...I'm looking to take out the stock pickups and put in a neck and bridge pickup. the sound I'm looking for is fast, pure, clean heavy metal. In particular, I want a Kirk Hammett from Metallica sound to it, and I know it can be done.
What I recently purchased was an Sh-2 Jazz Model for the Neck and an SH-6 Duncan Distortion Model for the Bridge.
Would that get me the sound I'm looking for? Or should I take back the Bridge model and put in something else? If so, what would you suggest? Since I play a lot of Metallica, and I already own a steady rhythm guitar (An ESP LTD with EMG pickups), so I want something lightning fast that I can use to solo with.
I also read about the new Trembuckers..would that be a better suggestion?
Thanks for any help guys.
