the les paul is not flat like when you are playing it while standing, everything seemeed to be very out.... For the tele, it is whole thing flat. I had dimarzio super distortion T on it. I coil splitted it. Haha. When it is splitted, it still sounds like a tele but with a much higher output. Haha. But actually, the les paul is more versatile haha. There two humbuckers slot. you can get single coil out of humbuckers. You cant do it the other way round. There's 4 control. You can do the pagebucker on it and it will become very very versatile.
