Title: Les Paul p/u replacement
Post by: scoutpilfer on September 02, 2009, 09:48:35 PM

So i've heard that BKP are pretty decent and I was wondering which ones I should put in a Gibson Les Paul Standard or Custom (haven't decided which i'm getting yet). Pretty much anything with high gain and clarity. Also want to be able to solo with it half decently. Don't much care for cleans I have a Jag-Stang for that.

Contemporary
Holydiver Humbucker
Cold Sweat Humbucker
Miracle Man Humbucker
Nailbomb Humbucker
Warpig Humbucker
Painkiller Humbucker

All these will do what you've asked for. Please be more specific!
