I recently purchased a 2015 Les Paul standard. I really like the guitar but I am not happy with the sound of it. It's too boomy sounding and too weak sounding. The pickups are extremely low output and I can't get very much distortion from it. It's hard to word it but in general I am just not happy. Most people tell me "just swap the pickups" but with Gibson's circuit board and quick connect pickups it makes it a little tougher to just swap them in there. I'm also concerned that a simple pickup swap isn't going to help me out, I have been down that road and lost a lot of money and time for poor results in the end so I think I have decided to let the guitar go.
Now, here's where I am at. I have an offer for a 408 10 top and another offer for a sc250 10 top or an sc245 plain black.. I'm really not sure which way I want to go. I have 2 ESP guitars which I love the sound of, they are very clear and pronounced in their sound, the notes jump out and there is no mud they also have I nice aggressive sound which I love. The guitars just kick the Marshall amps right in the face with brilliant results!
So, I am asking you my trusted PRS brethren, which way would you go? 408, sc250, sc245, keep the LP, or something else? Help me out here
BTW this would be my first core model, I've had 2 SE cu24's and 1 s2 cu24 but never a real one.. Got rid of those for various reasons.
