Hi,
Experienced guitarist and recording artist here, but having been a "super strat" guy I'm totally new to Les Paul style guitars. Have been spending months researching, learning and visiting some local stores but wanted to get some opinions on stock pickups for recording purposes....
Generally, for 80's classic metal tones (not the uber-distorted drop tuned modern metal), will any of the common pickups in Les Pauls do the job or should I plan on investing into the typical SD JB/59 type setup?
Seems most of the modern LP's come with various Burstbuckers or 57's, and the EPI's have Probuckers. Would any of these do the job or rather fall short on clarity or output?
Thanks,
Sonic
