@Stewmade64 is it a Norlin's one with a maple neck?

[Stewmade64]

@Aniva66 Yes.

Hey man, great comparison, however both sounded good.

The video doesn't translate the muddiness very well.

Great playing also, love the Edge vibe you had going on.

So you replaced the 300k to 500k pots all around or just vol? And bumble bee caps.

I do hear a slight chimier sound.

@monirom94 I think both sounded good, just the last sounded a bit clearer to my ears. Yes, replaced the 300k's for 500k's as well as the addition of Bumble Bees.

I have the exact same one except everything is original and it's a pretty heavy guitar

[soranohasu]

i wish all Les Pauls in the market could sound like yours.
