I tried Epiphone Les Paul Tribute Plus, but was left with much disappointment from the build quality.
It was horrible. Mostly due to the neck joint. Actually I had two that were defective and decided I needed to look for alternative.
This led me to PRS. My quest was for that thick, fat Les Paul sound that hits you like a freight train.
I have an Ibanez Jem 7VWH. It covers all of my needs for the Super Strat tone and I love it. Everything about it...the 25.5" scale, jumbo frets, tremolo, pick ups etc.
But I really wanted something different. Something that would allow me to detune and use a slide.
The Epi sounded incredible, but quality was less than optimal.
I decided on the S2 Singlecut, as my Sweetwater representative suggested it.
My only concern is that it is not as fat, thick or in other words, having the freight train tone.
My question is this.
What if I swap out the pick ups. Maybe Bill Lawrence L500s?
I have played with pickup height and will adjust them again tomorrow to the suggested height that PRS has on their website, but am not confident it will help.
What are your suggestions? I will hopefully post more pics tomorrow.
Thanks
