denthevetteman78 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I just finished installing gibson pickups on my les paul Epi. I put a 490r at the neck an a 498t at the bridge. It sound real good. It had a nice sound before but now it has a great sound. The swap was real easy. I did both of my guitar in 2 1/2 hours. I installed my Epi pickup on a old guitar that my daughter is practicing with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animalfarm Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Good choice!!! I installed the same 498T/490R sets on both my EPI LP Studio and EPI LP classic - major difference in sustain and sensitivity to pinch harmonics. Better sound. I lucked out and bought both sets for half-price via ebay. If you've GOTTA have Gibson pups, it's the way to go, but EPI pups actually sound decent if you have the right set, preferably from g-400 or LP Standard, and the EPI open-coil LP classics sound good too in the right guitar. I LOVE using EPI pups on guitar mods to replace stock pups. If not EPI, then GFS.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matiac Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I too, have installed Gibson pickups in my most beloved, and trusted Blue Bomber, although they are the older "T-top" pickups...opened that puppy right up, they did! I got mine free, techy had 'em lying around his shop, and gave 'em to me. I gave him a rather expensive bottle of wine that Christmas cuz I felt bad not payin' him for them...he gave me the TP6 on it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
