:lmao:

I'm not a fan of Trivium at all, but it looks like a pretty nice guitar, 'cept for the generic metalcore pickups.
 
Re: Matt Heafy Les paul sig..

The brief period when he was with Dean because they were riding the fanboy wave. I can't really knock them for that, but I can knock Cory Beaulieu for trashing Dean's owner's Benz during a DOA a few years back. Heafy even had his own 24 fret ML-something they hadn't done for anybody since USA production restarted. Still, he talked **** and they walked.

He deserves an Epiphone.

yeah, I know the Dean period.. I REALLY liked Matts sig ML except the graphic.. (Im not a sig model fanboy, but if the guitar itself trips my trigger..) I didnt know they did that.. I was wondering why the endorsement was so short lived.. Shouldnt bite the hand that feeds..
 
Re: Matt Heafy Les paul sig..

I'd be all over that.... If it came in white...

Still, it's a pretty hot axe
 
Re: Matt Heafy Les paul sig..

Dig the 7 string but would want more traditional pups. The EMGs look like they're a different size then normal 7 strong pups though. Or is that just me?
 
Re: Matt Heafy Les paul sig..

I LIKE! Probably the only 7 string I've seen that I didn't think was hideous. Would like either of them really. I also surprisingly really like Epiphone's gothic line of stuff. Call it cheesy, but with some work they can be a piece of art.
 
Re: Matt Heafy Les paul sig..

...is this the first time you guys have seen a Les Paul Custom? And Epi's been doing 7-string Les Pauls for years.

OH WOW SWEET SIGNATURE GUITAR SURE I'LL PAY A HUGE PREMIUM FOR YOUR CHOICE OF PICKUPS AND YOUR SIGNATURE SILKSCREENED UNDER THE GLOSS!

Really?

I don't know anything about Trivium or Matt Heafy so I don't care about his signature nor does his personal preferences on pickups stir my interest but the look is kinda cool. That said, I've never seen an Epi LP 7-string. Did I miss something? Seriously, not being a smart-a$$ here. Have they made 7-string LPs before?
 
Re: Matt Heafy Les paul sig..

I thought Embers to inferno was a nice album at the time it came out. The following albums didnt do a whole lot for me, but they have some rad riffs here and there. The only thing I really dig about the new epi is the ultra access heel. Other than that it's just an epi LP.
 
Re: Matt Heafy Les paul sig..

I always had hopes that Trivium would replace Metallica, Matt Heafy does a great 80s Hetfield voice.





From those pics, he's looking AWFUL, and he's not even 30.
 
Re: Matt Heafy Les paul sig..

It is exactly like the Epiphone les paul custom midnight that I bought back in 05. Only difference is the nice cutaway to access the higher frets.

There's more to the guitars than that that make them unique to anything Epi has released before.

A quick removal of the head from the ass would give you enough time to see that.

EMG has it's own size of seven string pickups. SD makes Blackouts in that size, but that's about it. You might be able to get a custom shop shaped like that.

I believe when they came out, MANY thought this would be the changing of the guard from Metallica to Trivium. They were heavy, tight and .... I think if he would stop doing the metal scream voice and just sing, they would gain a bigger audience. Def would be my preference.. And I KNOW everyone cares what I think... haha

I read in EMG's literature that they use cases from bass pickups for their 7- and 8-string guitar pickups.
