One of the pickups' parameters is the 'output'. Try to find the output for each pickup in your guitars and compare them. Probably the Slash's pickups have a higher output.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Nuno https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/epiphone-les-paul-wiring/#post-316667 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/epiphone-les-paul-wiring/#post-34408 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 04:50:47 +0000 I've got an Epiphone Les Paul Custom (Korea) & an Epiphone 'Slash' Les Paul Standard Plus top (China).
What I like to do is just run my amp hot & then control overdrive with the volume knob. When I dial back the pot on the custom it cleans up the sound & volume is similar (just a bit quieter) almost straight away (7-8 of 10 maybe) & I've found this really usefull. However on the 'Slash', the overdrive doesn't clear up, it just gets quieter until about 1-2 out of ten & then it finally cleans up. This isn't as usefull, when trying to flip knobs on the go.

Now the question is, would this be due to different types of pots/wiring or pick-ups? I have a G&L Asat that behaves exactly like the custom, which is why I reckon it's pot set-up, not pickups....?

My understanding is that they have very similar (if not the same) pick-ups. Body construction is very similar as well (mahogany/maple).

Cheers dudes & Merry Christmas.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Rob77 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/epiphone-les-paul-wiring/#post-34408
