    Look what I bought to replace my EMGs

    Pickup suggestion to make my sound rounder

    Hi all! I'm new here and already have a question! I have a Gibson Voodoo LesPaul which I enjoy playing a lot - the neck feels great. However, I am having some problems with it tonally. Currently it has a Bareknuckly Miracle Man in the bridge and delivers a slamming metal sound - focused and...
