    This thing sounds heavenly. My jaw dropped wide open when Lemmo played those first few licks on the neck pickup

      Agreed. That neck pup sounds killer. So, so hard to find a good NP on Les Pauls, imho. Very easy to go into mud city.

    _________________
    Actually, the guitarist most famous for this model was John Fogerty, using a 1968 model in the latter years of Creedence Clearwater Revival.
    He used transistor Kustom amps, loaded with 15" speakers.
    The sound was awesome, rich sounding, and clear.
    It bought out the best in these Les Paul Custom models.
    For the earlier 3 pick-up version, go to Jimmy Page.
