Here we go. I have an Epi Dot (red of course like Clapton) and an Epi LP Standard (just like Jimmy Page's). I know - not very original. I now have a set of SD 59's (black) and a set of 57 Classics/57 Classic Plus (nickel covers).
Soliciting opinions: :sport-smiley-002:
Which pickups should I put in which guitar? Are they tonally similar? Will it make a huge difference or will the difference be more cosmetic than anything else?
I've been slowly buying what I need to completely rewire both guitars (pots, switches, input jack, caps, knobs and of course pickups).
There's no way I will ever pay $2000 + to have a "real" Gibson so I just want to upgrade some perfectly good guitars with better components.
I compared my LP Standard with stock pickups to a Yamaha AES620 with SD JB in the bridge and Yamama neck pickup and tonally, the Yamaha won hands down.
So...I want to get crackin on these axes!!
Opinions/Advice please. Thanks in advance :food-smiley-004:
