New Bridge PU for Gibson Les Paul (Hardcore / Heavy Pop Punk)

[Captain Tim]

Hey Guys!

I recently got the new 2016 studio in worn brown. I never really was a fan of Les Pauls, but really liked this one. The neck feels just amazing with the natural finish!

Even the stock PU's sound pretty good to be honest, but I want more "meat" if you know what I mean

I'm looking for something like Four Year Strong, Your Demise, early Yellowcard or A Day To Remember.

The guy from Four Year Strong uses a SH-4 in his Les Paul and a lot of people are using the SH-6, so one of those probably?

Any experience with one of the PU's or recommendations for some ohters?

By the way, I'm using a Laney Ironheart 60 with an Orange 2x12 closed back cab.


cheers and sorry for bad english because I'm from Germany ;P

Tim

Invader is also an option, lots of people down talk them but I love mine.
I have a set in an LTD and they are sweet! You don't need a lot of gain to make them heavy.

I own a Tom Delonge Fender which has the Invader in it. Sadly there is no covered version available. Chrome cover would be cool!

Sounds like a job for the Alternative 8.

Custom FTW

Definitely a Custom. That will give you the extra "meat" you are after with a tight low end. I used a Custom and Custom 5 in Les Paul's and SG's for years playing modern punk.

Custom 5 will do the job.
