the les paul

[neuro182]

Hmm

I got a fren who owns a Voodoo LP, wonder how it sounds like too?

I previously owned a Epi LP Std (got it during a sale) . . . It look sexy, sound sexy & feel sexy to me & I agree with ShredCow that it needs to haf a floyd rose bridge (which is evidently installed in e Epi Goth Series LP). I gave up Les Paul in search for RGs solely for that reason + a H-S-H 24 fretters wld be provide more variety of sound.

Another thing is e weight. I feel like carrying a big block of wood when playing with my Les Paul (that explains why I sit down most of e time) & my shoulder hurts after playing for 1 hour (maybe I'm quite weak la *lolx*)

Generally, I feel that the shape & sound of Les Pauls compliments each other. Btw, are e PRS Single Cutaway similar to Les Pauls? Both uses mahogany bodies but diff pickups onli rite? I notice e PRS Single Cutaway body is thinner than Les Paul.

Today I stop lusting after les paul. no improvement after a zillion years.

It is so outdated....heavy, unbalanced, crappy tuners, so uncomfortable to play....baf fret work,....blah blah...and Gibson overpriced for quality you get.

I don't wanna play a guitar with someone else's name on it anymore!!

Scuse me while I plug in my Paul Reed Smith Tremonti SE

??

So far, the ESP Eclipse series shape I find are quite similar to the Les Pauls, except that its Cutaway is sharper.

Eclipse & Les Paul haf set-neck construction & uses Mahogany as its material. Both bodies are also Mahogany, except LP got a tinge of Alder added to it. Similar pickups config - Dual humbuckers (diff pickups) & 22 frets. I wonder what is the differences between these 2 axes, besides e sound.

The LP you tested was an Epi right?
A gibson shouldn't have any alder, it should be a maple top + mahogany guitar.
Gibsons tends to have the vintage vibe, low output pups etc., while ESP Eclipses are made for metal. Not too sure about this, but I think the Eclipse has a contoured back. :wink:

 

[6stringsamurai]

yep ESP eclipses/LTD ECs do have a countoured back

Eclipses tend to be thinner, compared to the LTD's EC400at, which is slighty similar to les pauls in terms of thickness. The necks on the ESP counterparts also tend to be slimmer compared to the les paul's.

Edward's les paul copies are more or less 100% similar to the originals though, no belly contour or weird cutaways.

[domonizo]

how much is an average gibson les paul and an epiphone...like, just a gibson les paul standard, and epiphone les paul standard..

frankly, i dont even know the diff between a gibson and a epiphone les paul...

 

[Vaiyen]

one is slightly overpriced and the other is super overpriced.

The voodoo sounds great. Just that it is much bassier, therefore making the notes slightly 'darker'.

Jammed with it a few times, it sound kinda out of place. Still actively using my jem for jamming sessions as the tone is still better somehow, wah screams better...

 

[neuro182]

Hmm

I jus bought a JEM Jr.. Awesome!! Fitted w EMGs, probably gonna switch it out & install a pair of Breed? or Evo?

 

[superak]

try breed on neck position. don't use for both. the bridge use something like seymour duncan fast shred.. maybe it sound good..

you can keep the emgs too right? it should souund pretty alright..

woohooo... happy for you dude. As long as you got a guitar that you are happy with. Just because of knocking it.

You can knock everywhere, but not on the headstock.
