2007 Epi Les Paul Custom upgrade questions

New member as of 36 seconds ago, obviously my first post.

 

Read alot about others upgrading their Customs on this forum but didn't come across anything I'm about to ask in a search.

 

The electronics in my new Custom, well..... we know about those.

 

I'm looking to upgrade to some Torres Guitar Humbuckers. http://www.torresengineering.com/cusmadpicand.html

Anyone have any comments on these and/or Torres in general? My brother built a fretless bass 23 years ago and had them install the pick up's and controls. He was very pleased at the time.

 

I guess the guy retired a few years, then reopened in a new location.

 

Second, I'm thinking about using these http://www.thdelectronics.com/pdf%20stuff/Quintet%20Lit%20050307.pdf

 

Again, any input would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Well, I have no experience with Torres pickups but reading about them makes me want to. Sounds like you're on to something there.

 

The second item sounds very interesting too; makes me think of the 'varitone' control on the Gibson ES-355 guitars (most notably B.B. King's 'Lucille')... again, very interesting. Sounds like it would be a lot more useful than the standard tone control. Makes sure to lets us know how it works out.
