btoth76 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Hello! It's been a while since I posted here... A recent addition to my collection is this '18 Deluxe Player Plus, I have modded with a Fender Texas Special pickup at the bridge. Blasphemous, but sounds brilliant.

It is very aggressive with emphasis on highs, and it's out-of-phase with the neck pickup at certain volume levels. https://www.facebook.com/bence.toth.9022/videos/10218601828030878/ Bence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

("tonewoods do not exist" - some say...) I like it's satin look too. It feels somewhat better than a gloss-finished Les Paul. Bence.

btoth76 Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 Tributes are great! I have a first year (2010) 50s Tribute. It's such a great-sounding guitar. Bence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duane v Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Doesn’t sound like a strat to me.... But great playing and a nice looking axe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny isn’t it? That pickup came out from my ‘13 Am Special Strat, and sounds completely different in the Les Paul. Some say, the sound comes from pickups alone... they are wrong.

duane v Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 To me it has that Barry Goudreau Boston tone.... which is an SG type tone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 That’s how it was done. All it takes is a modified P90s cover, and two screws with locking nuts. Bence. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank You, and Happy New Year to You too! To be honest, I rarely play clean, so I don't have records of that. Mostly, I play through a Tube Screamer, or via a Plexi emulation with Bottom Booster.
