ndavis1971 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Ok I’m in virgin territory here. I want to get a Les Paul and use same type of pickups Peter Green used. I’ve been told to look at the 59 historic reissues and throbak peter green pickups. But I have no idea if you’d recommend this. I want as close to a true 59 as I can get without buying a real one. Want to keep total at 5k or below if I can. Also don’t want chambered or anything if that affects tone adversely. I have a heavy as hell gold top with mini humbuckers and the weight definitely helps the sound. Open to all suggestions on model and pickups. All these reissues make my head spin. Thanks in advance !

IanHenry Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 You will need "out of phase" pickups, plenty of reverb and very little gain to come anywhere close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
