Super Sport Owners - Question for You

[Vito Porkleone]

The one thing I don't have in my recording arsenal is a LP-type guitar. How close is a Super Sport to LP territory?

 

[NickNihil]

Tone-wise, not terribly close. Super sport pickups are a lot hotter and more mid heavy.

My Morse HH BFR was the closest EBMM I've had to a Les Paul. Even the neck felt similar to my 91 LP Standard!

The wood choices, longer scale, and bolt on neck are going to impact things pretty heavily as well.

I would say an ALHH with the solid Rosewoood neck is the closest to a Les Paul in the EBMM line. It has the same pickups as the Axis but the wood choices make it sound different, at least to my ear.

+1 for the Al HH. Additionally more easy to swap PUs on that one, which will you get closer to a LP. But it's not unlikely that you don't want to swap PUs after trying the Al HH.

What about the Reflex (or 25th anniversary)? I have seen very few of them here in darkest Pareeee but when I did I thought LP.

 

[Vito Porkleone]

I actually have thought about the AL HH. May need to revisit this. Don't tell the wife...

You cannot go wrong with an AL HH !
The only things you don't have with the AL are the 2 volume knobs and 2 tone knobs for mixing the sound between the 2 humbuckers.
