m16516 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 So recently my dad and i decided that the p_ups in my 07 les paul custom were not cutting it for a guitar like that. so we were looking into the p-94 black and gold bridge and something like a ’57 classic for the neck.. now i dont know if 57 classic is the best for the money. anyone have any good suggestions for me on a neck p_up? im also changing out the tuners and the pots i believe. also is there a better bridge then what comes standard on the epi les paul custom? thanks for the help in advance!

animalfarm Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I can't comment on the pups, but I will offer up this regarding the Bridge - Epi bridges are 7/16" wide. On the other hand, Guitarfetish bridges are 9/16" wide. This allows more flexibility when setting intonation without having to "flip" the bridge saddle backwards to get that last little bit of travel if it just won't quite intonate and you've run out of adjustment room. After installing Guitarfetish Bridges on a few project gits, I find I'm quite happy with them for that very reason. And for $14.95 (Gold), or $12.95 (Chrome), it's not hard on the pocketbook. Just my opinion. Link to Gold Bridge: http://store.guitarfetish.com/labutustgobr.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hungrycat Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Uhh...Wouldn't it make more sense to put the humbucker in the bridge and the P-94 in the neck? It IS your guitar though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m16516 Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 well the reason i was thinking the other way around was because i figured that having the p-94 in the bridge would give me a cleaner solo setting idk maybe im think this all wrong.. hmm idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one and love it. I usually just buy graphtech string saver saddles and put them on the epiphone locktone bridges. The wilshire i use heavily has one of these though Its built sooooo well. Intonation is excellent with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
