Why don't you just buy a different guitar, because it's rather apparent that you don't like your Les Paul. Try an Ibanez, Fernandes or an ESP, with sustainers or emgs. You'll save yourself a bundle of money in the long run. You won't get an LP sound, but it doesn't sound like that's what you want.



umm....yeah

The sustain, listen to it. I don't hear anything. Well you would though, if it were playing.

Only Les Pauls sound godly with sustainers or EMGs. Les Pauls sound godly with everything. All other guitars are beneath the Les Paul, no matter what pickups they use. This guy obviously wants a pickup that would make his Les Paul more godly according to his tastes.

Man you come up with a different "want" or "need" every week. A couple of months ago you couldn't sound enough like Jimmy Page. Why not buy a guitar that has them in it already, why mod your LP? You more than likely regret modding it when change your mind again.


Besides you have all that lawn mowing money you were making all summer. I think it was somewhere in the neighborhood of $16,000. d'oh!

Via uses a sustainer in his guitars, to install one would require removing a pickup and installing two single coil sized pickups, one being the sustainer the other being a neck pickup, finally a on/off switch and battery or poswer source needs to be installed for the device. Oh by the way nothing new about the sustainer, it was around in the 80's when they actually had a sustaniac guitar.
