Billy Idol got some great reviews about the show at the Heineken Music Hall in the papers today.

"Non stop 2 hour show", "very energetic" and "Awesome guitar playing by Steve Stevens" were mentioned in the article.

I think the quality of player eloquently suggests the potential of these pickups.

This is usually the case with most, but it's even more appealing to me because he has always got one of my top Les Paul tones (along with Gary Moore). I am not sure what he has used for pickups in the past but the sound clips of the Rebel Yells sound very typical of Steve Stevens. They have a tonal resemblance to PAFs in many ways too but are a bit hotter and thus more versitile.

I am so buying these. I have figured out I need 50mm spacing in the Les Paul, my credit card company should do the currency exchange for me, I can get 4 conductor wires and install push-pull coil taps at a later date if I wish... the only thing that I am stuck on now is nickel or chrome.

I finally tried mine last week, and it is a monster. You can not go wrong with the 4 way conductor, push-pull coil tap. It is really versatil, and it has such a gorgeous tone. :)

For the BKPs I put in my black Les Paul, I went with "raw nickel" and I quite like the sort of "matte finish" look of them as opposed to the glossiness of chrome.

On the other hand, I wish I had a guitar to load with some "burnt chrome" finish pups! And the purple/black zebra option for the RYs is pretty funky 8)

I saw steve and met him and billy in texas backstage at SBSW music festival 2005. No wonder steve's guitars sounded so amazing! he also had other guitars with P90s and the tone of that les paul he used with p90 (possibly Bare knuckles) is still the best guitar tone I've ever heard, it haunts me even now.

Steve is also a really nice guy, so is billy they were very freindly and they said they loved the manchester people and the place, which was a great thing to say, oh what a gig!

JJretrotonegod, I checked out your myspace and I must admit I like your style and tone. Nice work.

you want it, I have it! sort off: i have a guitar with that inlay, but a funkier, flashier top.

edit: I'm mistaken! sorry! There is another sparkleguitar in the world (a shamray) and that one has the 'stripping girls' inlay that guy of Motley crue once had, i believe. and THAT is what I have. here's a pic:

Warning: guitarP*RN HERE!

its also with my other les paul, loaded with nailbombs. the nailbombs will go into the quilt-purple, and the flame will get Rio grande crunch/punchbox set. just to change things a bit. both have, by the way, full rosewood necks, but the flame had rio rosewood neck, and braz. rosewood fingerboard :twisted:
