After having my RD in the shop for a set-up and a month of going over the dummy coil problem, I happened on a Duncan APH-1 with a Gold cover and put a push-pull pot with it. Nice and Quiet! I think the 84T matches up well with it, so problem solved. We had a new dummy sent in from Gibson that helped almost none. The good thing I suppose is the guitar was $499 at American Musical and even though it was all new and unopened there must be a reason for the huge drop in price.

As far as I could tell it was hooked up fine. It was just always noisy. That needed to be resolved, so that's the Only reason the P-94 was replaced. I was a bit bummed about it at first, but the Duncan APH-1 n hasn't let me down for a minute. Overall I think everything worked out, but still don't have any answer for the dummy coil dilemma.

Les Paul Studio LT would be a good choice.

I had to replace the P-94 in my RD recently, even after a new dummy coil sent from Gibson, it just didn't help much. I ended up putting an Alnico II Seymour Duncan pickup in, but was a bit bummed over tossing the P-94 to the curb.

That is the one.

This guitar is a Sam Ash exclusive and they have it for $499. What a Steal!!!

Wow! I had no idea. Real Gibson '57's aren't cheap so that makes this an even sweeter guitar. They have nickel baseplates. It's got to be the real McCoy. Maybe if you try them through a Marshall tube amp things would sound better. That's just my take on it. Everything sounds better through a Marshall! (I love Fender tube amps also so no foul meant)

The Sam Ash website has this vague description. It doesn't mention the pickups being anymore than 'Alnico V' humbuckers, so they're prolly just standard fare. But if they do tap then you have the newer 4 conductor wire model pickup. Check the label and let us know what it is! And if you're looking for how many pieces the body is you'll have to check at the end strap button, looking into the guitar 'butt' so to say. That whole rear area from the input jack to where your elbow rests is where you'll need to look. The back of the guitar is covered in veneer.
