Gary Moore Tribute Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I recently precured a Heritage Cherry Sunburst Version (my secondary) I got this for £300 as the Dawsons shop who was selling its old stock for the new year RRP £500 I was wondering if the pickups on this are Gibsons and also are they the same as a Gibson Studio (Sounds very similiar to me) Any help appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitmore Willy Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 This from MF: In the neck position is Epiphone's Alnico Classic humbucker, which provides warmth and subtle tone with a full, even response that doesn't hold back when you need that classic humbucker crunch. In the bridge position is the Alnico Classic Plus humbucker. A perfect companion to the Classic, it is overwound for a slightly higher output without sacrificing its rich, vintage tone. Both feature Alnico-II magnets, enamel wire, and are double vacuum waxed. 4-wire output on each pup allows for coil-tapping, and this Les Paul guitar takes full advantage of it with push/pull potentiometers on both volume controls. Combined with the 3-way toggle, these give you 8 killer tones in one great Les Paul guitar. Nice looking guitar! Willy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I'm pretty sure the Les Paul PRO/FX has a Floyd Rose trem and coil tapping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fringe Lunatic Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 What exactly is a "Les Paul Pro FX Custom" ? or a "Les Paul Custom Plus Top Heritage Cherry Sunburst Pro FX Studio" Here's what the factory website shows, and the OP's guitar doesn't have the Floyd Rose. So, I'm confused...... http://www.epiphone.com/news.asp?NewsID=1804 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitmore Willy Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 MF does have it in a couple of other colors....it does come with a FR....and yes, the picture that SolidSnake put up is a normal Custom. Willy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy The OPs photo is technically an epiphone les paul custom plus in "heritage cherry sunburst". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitmore Willy Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The OPs photo is technically an epiphone les paul custom plus in "heritage cherry sunburst". Yes, you are correct. In answer to Snake's question , the Gibson Studio normally comes with 498T bridge and 490R neck although some models do come with a Burstbucker Pro in the bridge position.
