After 3 years in the making, I finally got my new guitar. I got Seymour Duncan Blackouts Metal for it. That pickup is insanely hot and until my new guitar was done, I used it in my Les Paul, so pickup is the same in both guitars. Here is a riff from our upcoming single with Neural Amp Modeler and Impulse Response instead of guitar amplifier, cabinet and microphone.

Gibson Les Paul Custom

Signature model

My impressions

I love Les Paul Custom for so long and I considered it the best guitar in the world. Together with EMG 81/85, it is insane. I can’t believe that I’m saying this, but there is something better than Les Paul, and it’s my new guitar. It is made by a long time friend of mine and solo guitarist in my band, so he knows what picking style I use, what bands I like, what amps I’m after. With somebody knowing me so well, he couldn’t but make a guitar better than Gibson. I love how it bites more than Les Paul. It will definitely be my sound on our upcoming single and album.

Just in case you’re wondering how it looks, it is black ESP Viper with “LUST” (the first word of the name of my band) instead of inlays.
