NAFGD - Epi LP, bought from a fellow MLPer.
 Neck - MadHouse Designs (MHD) Custom Wind Bridge - Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro (APH-1B) Tuners - Schaller Deluxes PIO .015 Knob Pointers.... Sweetness. I know I'm in the honeymoon phase, but this thing sounds better (to me) than any Les Paul I've ever played. Admittedly, that's not a lot of guitars, but it does include my Gibson 1974 Deluxe, with Dimarzio PAFs:  (anyone need a 38-yeal-old guitar?) After playing the Epi, I plugged in the Gibby and my other Epi's, just to see if I was kidding myself. I wasn't. The Gib feels great, but doesn't sound as good to me. The stock Epi.... I used to like it, now it sounds like someone took a crap in my amp!  I guess decent wiring and a good set of pickups can make a BIG difference in a guitar (as if there was any question in that matter).  All I have to say now.. Sinister must have one hell of a guitar! He sold this to me, because he has no more use for this gem. |

Re: NAFGD - Epi LP, bought from a fellow MLPer.
Took me a good two minutes of 'wow, that's a classy looking guitar' to clock the Epiphone on the headstock!! Shows how much I read thread titles, I guess ...
Nice LP!

Re: NAFGD - Epi LP, bought from a fellow MLPer.
Looks a great improvement. I had a Epi LP and was thinking of putting Slash pickups in with alnico II magnets... but decided to push the boat out and buy a Midtown Custom with burstbucker 1 and 2 in. The difference is hard to discribe but very striking. I think it's added clarity and better sound balance arcoss the strings that's the first thing I noticed. I'll never know how good I could have got my old Epi now... but looks like someone done the hard work for you :-)
