sjtalon Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 EPI 2006 Catolog: (Alinco Classic Humbucker) Original Epiphone Les Paul 57 CH (G) Humbucker Pickup Relative PUP output (scale 1-10): Alinco-V 6.5 Vintage vibe with rich, warm tone. LP Standard - neck 8.5K ohm 4.45 Henrys ----------------------------- Bridge: HOTCH (G) BHC (Alinco Classic Plus Humbucker) Relative PUP output (scale 1-10): Alinco-V 7 Like the Alnico Classic but slightly overwound for more output. LP Standard -bridge 13.85K ohm 7.15 Henrys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjtalon Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I forgot to add: plus or minus 5.3987 % (not counting the accuracy variance of your meter, naturally) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PP_CS336 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 mrjones2004x; I just recently bought (April 18th) an Epiphone LP Standard Plain-Top LP. It was made in October 2007 at the QingDao, China facilty. It came with the "Designed by Epiphone USA" Alnico pickups. The ones (stock pups, i.e) on my LP sound fine. In fact, I used it at a gig the other night through my Fender amplifier (our band practices throught the mixer with headphones so as not to disturb the neighbors) and it sounded great clean and/or with effects. That said, I don't feel a need to go out and spend the extra money on Gibson pickups just so I can say I modded my guitar for that purpose.

layboomo Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Personally I think anybody's 13.85 K in the bridge is way too hot for my tastes! I like more of a PAF value in both locations on any Paul.... Gibby or Epi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
