Les Paul Custom, ESP Eclipse style...Audio clip added

[RedPlated]

Decided to do something a little different with my LPC. I used to have a Snow White ESP Eclipse and liked the look. I didn’t like the thin body though. I have quite a few Les Pauls, all with passive pickups. I figured having one with actives would add some variety.

I replaced all hardware with black and threw in a set of EMG Het Set pickups in black chrome. These pickups are actually really nice. Sound great.

Here’s some pics:

Love that!

That looks badass! I have a white EC1000T that I want to dress up like this. The gold hardware it came with it is just too Liberace

Here’s a before and after shot, big difference.

That is EXACTLY how I would rock a Les Paul.

That's hawt!

I have a red ESP Eclipse with black hardware and love it. I also have a black Gibson LP that will get the blackout treatment one of these days. It would look so much better.

Bridge:

Kluson part # KNTOM-B

Tail piece:

Kluson part # KLP-1140B

Tuners (18:1 ratio

Grover part # 102-18BC
