i hope to god those aren't good pickups you're wasting
never. always cheap-ass asian pickups with the magnet ripped out, with a gold cover.
Hey, Orpheo, kan you do a compilation or something of all your guitars? I've tried the threads, but most pictures didn't work :dontknow:

I'll post a pic later, just let me respond to the 3 pickup thing.
When I was younger, a lot more than I am today, my most beloved guitar was a 3 pup gibson les paul custom. I bought (no, traded!) it because it was a BLACK custom. my LP custom which I had before that one (and used to trade it!) was a 2 pup winered LP. I wasn't able to appreciate the color at that time, I wanted a BLACK one. that it had 3 pickups, was tough luck. it was black.
later on, I started to appreciate the winered les pauls, and also, I learned that I really liked the 3 pickup look. Not only that, but I 'need' that third pickup as an anchor for my fingers. my musclememory has evolved into such a state that I feel 'lost' without the third humbucker in the middle. For me, its not obstruction, not anymore at least.
Then, at the start of 2007, I ordered my first les paul. It had to be a combination of the 3 guitars I have loved up until that point: the PRS mark tremonti (tremolo), PRS Mccarty (rosewood neck), and for both PRS's goes that they both had nice tops, and my old custom (3 pups). I added some stuff of my own ofcourse. but since then, I went on the 3 pickup-course, and have only deviated on occasion, when there was no other option than deviation
I see, but isn't that kind of boring after a while? Having basically the same setup on all your guitars, even utilizing mostly the same playing style (Anchoring your fingers on the middle pup).Orpheo said:Big V - AKA "The other guy from Norway" said:That's at least a relief, but still :doh:Orpheo said:dNA said:Orpheo said:i seriously like the looks

Ever thought about variation? :laughing7:

thought about it, but it really doesn't work for me. I tried other guitars, orhter setups, but I always grab my 'good ol' 3 pup lester'.

no, I already have my 10th build underway... a padouk top, on wenge back, with a padouk neck, ebony board, and a jb/bluesbucker hybrid set in neck and bridge.
if I could only sell my jb/jazz set... then I would have space again in my geeters for a '59/custom hybrid set...
oh now I think of it, I need to build another guitar, cause I have 2 other pickups left...
correction: 2 guitars, cause I have 2 sets left (novatron set and a fullshred/jb hybrid set).
Dang, looks like im going to have to draw up my lp bass plans then haha
And nice sounds like another good build.
haha just cause you have the pickups doesnt mean another build... well actually good on you :icon_thumright:
Maybe if i get enough money in the future i should do the bass cousin to your collection :toothy10:
Mind you theres only so many things you can do with a four string body :/

why the 'doh'? I don't play something else except les pauls, and I like nice woods, so why not?
to make things even worse for you multi-LP-haters:
I have number twelve and THIRTEEN COMING MY WAY!
So just suck it up, swallow the lousy comments, stuff it up and act as if its my first or second project.
