I've got a 2017 Custom Shop Les Paul Standard '58 on it's way and I'm already contemplating what mods I may need to make to it. I'm a player more than a collector, so as long as the mods are reversible, I'm okay with making it play/sound/look the way I want it.
I'm trying to decide if I want to keep the stock Custombuckers or replace them with some combination of the following, which I currently own.
NECK: OX4 neck pickup (A4, low wind, 7.3K)
BRIDGE: Peter Florance Voodoo '59 bridge pickup (A5, 8.1K), OR, a ReWind Electric PAF-1 (A4, med wind, 8.4K)
I have the OX4 neck pickup, and ReWind Electric PAF-1 bridge in another les paul right now and like them a lot, but I haven't tried the Florance Voodoo '59 bridge yet and wondering how it will compare to the ReWind.
I'll live with the Custombuckers for a bit to see if I like them, but wanted to hear from others that have tried them; kept them in or swapped them out.
I'm going for a bluesy, classic rock tone e.g. ZZ Top Brown Sugar; not a modern PAF-style tone, if that makes any sense.
Any thoughts?
