SO!
I made my decision...   :D

I wrote BKP and wanted to order

Neck: The Mule double cream
Bridge: Emerald: aged Nickel.. or whatever its called.

In case of me not liking the bridge, I can always just end up swapping that only.

The Mule on the neck, is a safe bed i guess :)

I rarely play it.. and when I do, I want really warm organic tones.

I guess my needs are:

*Great for a Les Paul

*Versitile: from blues to metal... rythm to lead.


Abraxas - check out the videos in my sig.

I love the tone in this demo in particular:  http://www.youtube.com/user/TeleCustom72#p/u/0/yDQ2twawdIk

Trying to decide what pickups to put in my Godin LG and this is definitely an option.  The Abraxas pups sound fantastic!

I'm loving the black dog, but it's not as open as my riff raff or the mule
I have a very dense sounding les paul, though

anyway, as I said earlier, Joe Kataldo's and some hunter / jaeger28's clips are consistent references
you should check them

Yo Jofipe, congrats on the choice...  Stoked to hear what you think - and hear!!

As per the above, the BDs aren't as open as the RRs in yer axe??  Interesting...  I'll have to eagerly await to know how mine plays out.  It's a bright guitar, this Lester Custom of mine - it should bode well with the BDs.

Anyway, Jofipe, when the Rik gets put down, let us know!!
