But the greatest thing about the videos surely must be that you look a lot like Kevin Spacey  :D

 I'm not seeing the resemblance, but  :lol:

Nice playing as always ;). Surprising but I like the most the sg followed by the hammer with cold sweats (i was always putting this ceramic on side when choosing a bkp). Did not find other guitars to roar like those too.

Had a listen to the overdrive and high gain parts.

My favourites are still VHII, Emerald and Black Dog all though the Miracle Man and the Cold Sweat did a lot better with some more gain. The P92 was quite nice as well.

And finally, I was surprised how well the BKP-92 copes with distortion.


Now can you do it all again with the neck pickups?  :P  :wink:

Haha, yeah I'm not a neck PU guy, you got me there. I did use them on the cleans though. And here's some neck clippage of the RebelYell: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRuqqena_E0

And yes, those P-Types are awesome. Bad ones can be not flesh, not meat, good ones are the best of both worlds. Tim's are definitely the latter. It's the prime recipe if you wanna cut through a band mix with another guitar player. I'm sure that high note in the Highgain part would have cought on feedback and sustained if I'd upped the gain a tad.

After more listening I think I like the CS in the Hamer just as much as the BD's in the Epi. By the way Hunter, your clips have helped  me decide on the CS set for my Les Paul standard.Thanks!

AFAIK it is Mahogany with an Alder top and a maple veneer. But I'm not a wood expert, so I base my assumption on what people told me Epiphone put in those LP Classics.
