I bought a Calibrated Black Battle Worn (Black Bolts) Miracle Man Set for my Les Paul not so long ago, but I have recently found another really nice Les Paul (Epiphone Les Paul Custom Midnight) which I've decided to put my BKP in that when I get it. So now my old Les Paul is in need of some pickups, and if I'm honest, I have no idea what to do with it regarding new pickups. Normally I'd get rid of any guitar in which I'm replacing, but this is the one I learnt on, so I'm kind of fond of it. I preferably want to keep it tuned to E Standard mind, since my other will be tuned to Drop C. Any ideas on what I could do to this guitar? Me personally is thinking I could use it as a guitar where I can jam to backing tracks/songs, soloing over the top, and mabye even record some of my own backing tracks. So mabye something that has a really, really, really good lead tone, but can also play rhythms -Distorted Powechords, Areppegiated Clean Chords, Strumming, etc. I'm not going to be playing anything heavy tbh, since I'll have my Miracle Man set for that: But it doesn't mean I won't be improvising over any heavy music either. (Just thought I'd mention this to open up my options to involve Vintage & Hot Vintage p/us) Just basically a nice home guitar in which i can jam on to build up my chops, when I'm not gigging playing Drop C Metal. Any ideas or opinions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
P.S. It is quite a dark and loud guitar. When I used to have an EMG 85 in the neck, the lower strings were very bassy.
