Looking for an LP style guitar

[Git-Fidler]

I'd seriously look at an Epiphone Prophecy Les Paul.

I'd seriously look at an Epiphone Prophecy Les Paul.

Pretty sure the OP bought one of those (page 3) and then returned it.

Indeed I did. I took one home for few days and while I appreciated a lot about the guitar I just couldn't gel with the pickups mostly.

I was severely underwhelmed by the Fishman pickups, too. I was even like,
"I bet EMGs would sound better."

 

[Git-Fidler]

I hope the Fishman Fluence/Evertune work with my Super SG build...

Normally I don't like all white humbuckers, but I have to admit they look good on this guitar.

That's a classic pair there.

That's a classic pair there.

2019 GT 50s and 96 standard, all stock. Someone had a nice 90 standard in tobacco with lollars, but they were asking new price (it had a fair bit of honest wear on the back).

I had an Aria GT with P-90's that was identical to the real deal, right down to the covered fret ends. I sold it because I had to, along with my Axis and PV Wolfgang. Every time I see one like yours, I get them blues.

Thought I'd share few pics of my DIY project today. I installed the master-series-phase harness and switchcraft switch/output jack this afternoon. It definitely sounds different. 50's wiring sounds clearer and more open. The pots are more sensitive to smaller adjustments. I took out the stock PCB and kept the Gibson 490R for neck pickup and that is the BKP rebel yell in the bridge.

I put copper shielding tape in my LP Tribute. Was quiet as a mouse at last nights show!

Suppose you want an inexpensive Les Paul that sounds and plays great and doesn't have the flaws people rag on Gibson for.
Any recommendations?

Just bought a 2021 LP Custom for a discount at some local Guitar store, nobody has any Customs so I went new but one year old lol

Hundreds of thousands of dollars for a 58/59 LP, and they put a shipping price in the listing! You're buying me a plane ticket!
