Greetings everyone. I have a situation I’d like to run by the group for advice.
I have a reverb-find, Epiphone black beauty 3-pickup Les Paul that’s wired 3 volume and 1 tone (the way I like it). It came with aftermarket pickups, one in a “hotshot” ring (or words to that effect), which I’m sure are better than the stock epi’s, but still don’t do it for me. I normally play classic rock and blues. I’m thinking of a Pearly Gates set, but for the middle, I’d like to go out of the box and put in something that’s very sonically different, as I’ll be able to kill its volume when I don’t want to play it. Something a bit more aggressive is fine, but not WAY out there.
I was actually thinking something like a mini-humbucker or even a filter-tron style, but it doesn’t have to be a non-humbucker. If a little surgery has to be done, it’s a 500$ used Epi, so that’s not a deal breaker.
Looking forward to hearing what everyone thinks….
