You're missing a Les Paul with four pickups! Who needs girls when you got those things around! They're beautiful.
Questions: How would compare a Warmoth "parts" Les Paul compared to a standard Gibson set-neck LP? (Besides the obvious better quality and components, etc...) I mean about feel and playability. How does a bolt on feel on a LP? Are they all 25-1/2" scale or Gibson 24-3/4" scale?
I have some 25.5'' scales, and also some 24.75'' scales. I like them both, for different applications. And how does a bolt on feel on a les paul? does that even matter? can it feel different? I can't say. I can only say that my warmoth's feel more alive, vibrant and springy than 99% of the gbibsons I've tried.I don't want to shelve out more than 2 grand for a guitar, and the gibsons that have the feel, fit and quallity of a warmoth start at over 3.5k! Wham, bam, NO thank you ma'am!
I just redid the blue les paul. The bridge pickup was a distortion (on second thought), and the neck was a jb with an alnico2. It just didn't work. too skkreechy, too nasal, not enough dynamics. I changed the bridgepickup for a patb2/bluesbucker hybrid, and the neck is a jb with an unoriented alnico5. The bridge has much more balls and power, more mids, more sweetness but also more bite and dynamic respons. The neck is FINALLY not nasal and 'clogged', like nanny fine on a bad day. its fat and round. Its not nearly as cutting as I'd want it, but ok. I'll possible change the unoriented a5 for a polished full strenght alnico5, to get rid of even more mids.
I got this bridgepickup from my walnut LP. I give that guitar another JB in the neck; also, better, but too warm, to mushy. I might go with , again, a full strenght alnico5, but also with hex polepieces (ala the fullshrred) just to give it more edge. oh well, the testing never ends
