I do approve of EMGs but not in an LP.EMG’s in an LP are a blast.

A lot of a subset of 90s metal was an lp with emgs into a high gain head (usually 5150). Its a staple.I do approve of EMGs but not in an LP.
I quite like EMGs but your right from a character point of view. They work well in almost anything but you will loose quite a bit of the classic LP tone. Still a great sound but not an exclusive LP sound.I do approve of EMGs but not in an LP.

BB King had them on his Lucille models.Check out this Vintage 1978 25/50 Anniversary Antique Sunburst that just showed up at my local shop. What is goin on with the bridge? are those fine tuners?
One suggestion I can give is the LP Studio, 2012-13 era. My brother gave me one for my retirement that he rebuilt with Classic 57 pickups. It’s amazingly light for a Les Paul at a hair under 7 pounds (measured just now on my kitchen scale at 6 lb 15 7/8 oz), so it is obviously chambered. It’s a great player. I can’t explain why, but it sounds better with the strings wrapped over the stop tail. This is the only guitar I keep set up that way. The neck feels wide but not as 2x4 thick as the true 50s neck felt.Hey guys, this thread has taken a tragic turn with the Floyd Roses, Kahlers, and EMGs in a Les Paul talk.
Not sure I can recover from this now.
I used to play les pauls (standards,customs) for 17 years exclusively, until I tried this...then I realized that I played wrong guitars all these years...shh...

This 2013 year model is fairly easy to find, and at a good price. You will be shocked at the weight if you’re used to picking up 10 pound LPCs. Like many here, I‘ve gone over to 594s to cover this ground, but this Studio kicks butt and is never hard on the body to wear through a long set. Good luck in your search!
haha, I actually love the ideaYou got ripped off man. They only gave you one pickup cover. Ask for a refund!!
I kid. That is one of my fave PRS finishes.
Trick is finding whale blue with a great top. I have a custom built guitar in whale blue as I wanted some PRSness to it (25” too).haha, I actually love the idea
yes, faded whale blue is by far the best PRS color, IMO.
it looks some much more 3D in person though, this pic is very deceiving
