Re: Epiphone Les Paul Standard, pickups?

I have the same guitar and put a pair of Seth Lovers. I have to say that I like the neck one, but when playing with the bridge, find the guitar a bit too dark sounding for my taste and maybe I´d like a bit more output.
I won´t be changing them for the moment, but in the future I think I may try a bridge 59/custom hybrid, a P-rails, or maybe a custom or a Pearly Gates. I´m not sure, but I know i´d like to try something with a little bit more output and high end than the Seth Lover.

A PGB isn't going to have noticeably more output than a Seth in the bridge. If you want more output and high end for that guitar, a '59/Custom would be a good choice.

I think I will follow your advice; that one was the first on my list anyway.

It's quickly become a very popular PU.

- I've read 10 years of posts about LP's in mahogany. Some of them have not ended well.

- For some of us, no tones define 'LP's thru a Marshall crunch' better than late 1960's Clapton, Page, and Green.

Yeah, but for those of us who rock, a Marshall Stack and a SuperDistortion is that sound. Not a bunch of old blues rehash 60's guys.

And for others, it is a Marshall and a Superstrat with a JB

we can go on….some of us didn't stop musically or tonally developing in 1972.

You got me there. We can't all be as cool and hip as guys playing '80's hair metal in wigs.

Interestingly enough, the subject of the tones and playing of Page, Clapton, Green, Hendrix, etc is still a popular subject online and in guitar magazines (I have subscriptions to two of them), they're sill big influences on a lot of today's players. I can't say I can recall anyone chasing after Frehley's sound.
