Bros,

So, I got a Les Paul yesterday. It's awesome, I love it. My fingertips are just about bleeding right now.

This is what it looks like.

This is what's going in it.

Black or Aged White(the one furthest left)?

Black rings or gold?

I'm being such a whore, I knowfacepalm.gif.

Someday I may feel shame.

You're reading my mind. Please get out of my headicon_lol.gif. Although there will never be a pickguard . First thing I did was yank it.

But they sound so good.

Yes it's a L90. Bast bucker ever.
I've got to try one of these. I've got L500xl's in three of my guitars, but I want to try something different one of these days. How do they compare to the l500 (if you've ever tried one)?

I have a L90 in the bridge of one of my strats. I absolutely love it. I've never owned a L500. But from all the clips I've heard, the L90 has more raunch to it. It's flat and honest EQ-wise and it will show you exactly what your guitar sounds like. It's been described as having a certain "sweetness" to it compared to the L500. I totally agree.

I'm thinking of getting a L500L and a L90(4H). Then I'll pull the L90 out of my strat and put the L500 in it. Using both L90s' for the LP.

Black pups and gold trim rings?love.giflove.giffacepalm.gif

I thought I was going to hate the gold hardware, but I love it. It makes me feel all guido-ee.

Ya'll are putting asthetics over tone. The stock pups sound decent. But they aren't even in the same area code as the L90. It's THE best humbucker ever.

Thanks for the input though.

The thought has crossed my mind. Just add a black Bigsby to that daydream.
