hey, i'm a new member but ive been reading the forum for a while; its always been a pleasure.
to be honest, i know VERY little about pickups and guitar hardware.
on that note:
i just bought an epiphone les paul custom, alpine white.
one of the most beautiful guitars ive seen.
however, the pickups are the only thing preventing it from being as strong as a gibson.
i was wondering if itd be possible to put tele pickups on the LP in an attempt to get a little more 'western' sound while retaining the look that i love about the alpine white custom. is that even possible mechanically? will it sound horrendous? im looking for a kind of beachy, slightly twangy sound, but nothing too hot- i need to be able to have distortion without my amp going crazy with feedback. any hints/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. i also have no clue what kind of pickup to look for, so if you could suggest one, thatd be awesome!
thanks so much for your help,
sean.
