[Slash Les Paul for metal?]

Kirk Hammett owns one of the most famous Les Pauls on the planet..  He does ok with it  🙂  And the pickups you get on the Slash models are usually hotter than on Standards.

 

 

I saw that video, that's what led me to make this topic. 😂

[Slash Les Paul for metal?]

For those who have the Slash signature guitar, would you say it's good for metal? I might get one if it is. 

[Tremolo for SG]

Thank you guys for your input!

[Tremolo for SG]

I am trying to find a vibrola/tremolo system for my SG Standard. The SG that I have has the batwing pick guard, so I know that there is at least one vibrola/tremolo system that will not fit. Are there any options out there that I should look at?

[Don Everly R.I.P.]

I was introduced to the Everly Brothers by my dad and every time one of their songs comes on the radio, he will talk about how great and unique their harmony was. RIP Don, gone but not forgotten. Thank you for your contribution to music. 

[White SG]

I want that guitar!

[58/59/60 Les Paul Standards or 57 Black Beauty Custom]

Do you prefer the 58/59/60 Les Paul standards or the 57 Black Beauty (any of the 3 variations)?

 

Are there any other models that you prefer instead of the ones I mentioned?

[Gibson ES-335 or Epiphone Casino]

I should have clarified that these are two completely different guitars, that's my fault. 

[Gibson ES-335 or Epiphone Casino]

Do you prefer the Casino or the ES-335 and why?

Didn’t you just read all the reasons everyone posted???

That’s why. 

Well I did read all of the comments up till this point, brad1, and not one of them mentioned the Gibson website. 

[Best websites to order guitar from]

So I guess Sweetwater is the best option lol. So why not order straight off the Gibson website?

[Best websites to order guitar from]

Which website(s) is preferable to order a guitar from?

[Indian Laurel Fretboards]

I have no idea what the Hardy ones are lol.

[Indian Laurel Fretboards]

Are indian laurel fretboards any good, like similarly good to rosewood fretboards? Is there a difference tonally and appearance-wise? 

[Gibson P94 Opinions]

Hello, 

What are everyone's thoughts on the P94 pickups by Gibson? What do you think of them as opposed to the P90 pickups?

Personally, I think they are a great single-coil alternative, but I would like to see what everyone else thinks of them. 

[Favorite Color]

Hey guys, 

What are your favorite colors on a Gibson guitar? 

Mine, for example, is gold top, but I'm also a fan of heritage cherry, iced tea burst and royal tea burst. 

[Gibson Les Paul Standard Color/Burst]

I'm thinking about getting a Les Paul in the next few months and I am really fond of the color/burst options available (I am mainly leaning on the 50s Standard). How do you pick which color/burst to get? 

[Should I Get a 61 SG standard?]

I would get the telecaster. I find the 61 standard tempting to buy too, and I already have an SG Standard from 2019. Like you said, you'll be able to fill in those sounds you're looking for, as opposed to the SG. 

 

[Burstbucker 61 or 57 Classic for SG?]

I am currently trying to decide which of these two pickups to get for my SG Standard. Here's what I know so far: the Burstbucker pickups have Alnico 5 magnets and have a higher output, are found in the Standard 61s and a couple Les Pauls that I know of, the coils are rounded the opposite way I think, have really good clarity in the clean sounds, and provide the player a little more punch and bite than the regular Burstbuckers. The 57 Classics, on the other hand, have Alnico 2 magnets and have lower output than the 61 Burstbuckers, provide a sweet tone and great clarity in the clean sounds, and have really good crunch. 

I could be wrong in my description or may have forgotten something to consider, so feel free to let me know! 

I am trying to get a sound that's vintage, versatile, and fits the classic SG sound. I have heard that both pickup sets are great for this kind of sound. 

If there are any other pickups to recommend, do let me know and I will check them out. 

[2020 SG Standard Rounded Neck]

I bought an SG Standard last year on Black Friday. I compared it to the slim taper on the SG Standard 61 and personally, I preferred the bigger neck on the regular Standard. The slim taper I believe is for those that like to play fast. The rounded neck is close to the chunky neck found on the Les Paul Standard 50s. If you have big hands, then the rounded neck may be for you. Hope this helps even a little. 

[Les Paul Standard Gold Top - PAFs or P90s?]

Based upon what you said, I recommend you initially go the Standard HB route.  If you are like me, you will get the humbucker Standard and bond heavily with it and love it to death -- what a perfect guitar.  Then you will eventually also get the LP w/ P90s (I got one of those too just recently).

I still have months to decide which one to get first, but I think I will follow your suggestion.

An SG?

Haha it's possible I just not get either of the Les Pauls.

[Les Paul Standard Gold Top - PAFs or P90s?]

Thanks for your input guys! I think I know what I'm going to get now!

 

[Les Paul Standard Gold Top - PAFs or P90s?]

@Kmonk I did look at some videos comparing both pickups and I can definitely tell that the P90s add a bit more crunch than the Burstbuckers. 

[Les Paul Standard Gold Top - PAFs or P90s?]

Hi guys, 

I'm torn between getting a Les Paul standard gold top with Burstbuckers and the one with P90s. Some of my influences include Pink Floyd, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, the Clash, Eric Clapton, and the Beach Boys. I have a general understanding of both pickups. I'm leaning more towards the humbuckers, but I'm afraid I might get buyer's remorse afterwards. Which Les Paul standard gold top do you think I should get?
