Invader in a Les Paul?

How different will it sound from usual PAFs?

ALOT different. The Invader in a LP isnt a good idea. The Invader sounds HUGE but, it is darker sounding with not alot of clarity. The Mahogany and the scale length of a LP makes this problem even worse.

If you want a more modern sounding pickup with more output in a LP, a Custom, Distortion, Full Shred, or Custom 5 will be good choices.

Yeah, there's nothing PAF-ish at all about the Invader.

Re: Invader in a Les Paul?

I agree. But it's more because Invaders are a full-spectrum output pickup, and the midrange and low overtones of a Les Paul will overdrive that section of the output. Invaders sound great in an SG, or anything that sounds bright to begin with, but I wouldn't use them in a LP.

If you want big and fat in a LP without going into the mud zone, try the Dimarzio Super Distortion.

A lot of folks seem to think that it's only good for classic rock, but it definatley throws down with a modern high gain amp.

If you want invader tude in an LP, I suggest the X2n.

Re: Invader in a Les Paul?

The X2N is monster.Really high output.I would go with PATB-1.IMHO the best hi-gain aplication PU for LP

If you want totally massive output and as much output as you can get, get the Duncan Livewires heavy metal. They have more output than anything MADE!
