It depends on the amp. With Boogies and 5150's I like EMG 81's. With modded Marshall style amps I really like the Suhr SSH+ and Aldrich.

Congrats! Be careful though, those things have a tendency to multiply.

Same. I've even cool with a solid black headstock, but if the body is a cool finish and the headstock is bare it just looks lazy to me. I had a Suhr Modern Antique for a while that was a cool guitar with a light relic black body, but the headstock was bare. Always irked me. For a few extra...

I had been hunting for a Suhr Modern with a 16" radius for some time, and thanks to espquade, I finally have one. The alder body with a maple top isn't something that I ever would've thought to spec out, but I really dig it. It's a nice compliment to my other guitars. Super easy deal and...

Congrats! I dig the purple. The Splawn stuff is killer.

Mesa Mark V. I couldn't sell it fast enough. Loved my old Mark III and IV. The V sounded abysmal in comparison.

My Splawn Quick Rod. I have a several more expensive amps, but every single time I plug into that thing, songs come out. It just responds to my playing exactly how I want and it's the sound that's always been in my head. I have an album that's being mixed right now, and I experimented with all...

They're both great, just different flavors. The Friedman is like a modded Super Lead while the Splawn is more of a modded 2203. The Friedman is a little smoother with a little more squish, the Splawn is more percussive. I prefer the Friedman for lower gain and mid-gain stuff, I like the Splawn...

Letting go of my excellent condition BE-100. Killer amp, I just see the new Steve Stevens model in my future. I'd like to start off local to the Portland, OR area. $2,500 cash or I might be open to a trade for a cool Suhr guitar.

Huge Big Wreck and Ian fan. The guitar tones on the new EP are just incredible. It's weird though, I bought a Suhr Thornley model, but I still can't play half as well as he does. I think it's broken or something.

I have a two channel triple Rev G that I had converted more toward Rev C specs and it came out killer. Mods weren't hard and I'm thrilled with the results.

I really dig it. I have a BE-100 so I let the BE-OD go and have a Dirty Shirley pedal now, but either of those do anything for slight crunch to all out high gain really well.

That looks great! Yeah the prices of all of the 70's Les Pauls have gotten silly, with the silverbursts being the biggest offenders. Congrats on your guitar appreciating though! That was a big part of picking this one up. I'm into it for way over 3x what I sold my original one for, and I...

I agree! :rock:

Oh man! That's going to be awesome!

My previous '79 Custom and my old '78 Standard were both super heavy. This one definitely has some heft to it but it's nothing crazy. I haven't weighed it but it's probably in the 9.5-10lb range.

I went with Jescar stainless on mine too. I don't need more Les Pauls at this point, but I've always wanted a birth year '85. I may have to go for it soon before the prices continue to climb.

It's a really interesting pickup. It can sound fantastic in some guitars and pretty lackluster in others. Lots of highs and lows. Quite aggressive and punchy. I wouldn't stick it in a bright guitar, but in something like an Explorer or all mahogany Les Paul it sounds killer.

I basically sweat battery acid, so mine will have some serious wear and tear in no time :) The stock pickups sounded great, but they were crazy microphonic. I'm really digging the Aldrich set in this guitar, but I will definitely get the originals re-potted and give them another whirl in it...
