Les Paul Humbuckers vs. Les Paul P90s

Which guitar sounds better to you... a Les Paul with humbucker pickups or with p90 pickups?

[@benjohnson4810]

It's so close. I kind of like the P90s more. I am used to humbuckers and i believe they sound similar to P90s. Are both guitars stock? Those are good sounding pickups and beautiful guitars. I have an '08 Epiphone Les Paul Standard. Plain top veneer with some action in the light, light Cherry sunburst top. I like it a lot, (different pickups and pots), 9 lbs.

The special is stock… the Standard has had quite a few things swapped out including pickups.

@@pedalheadgeardemos Nice. What pickups?

@@benjohnson4810 it’s been a while since I had this done… but I think I had burstbucker 1 and 2’s in it.

@@pedalheadgeardemos Good pickups. For whatever reason, the P90s are a little brighter in the video. Not always the case i guess.

[@pedalheadgeardemos]

@@benjohnson4810 P90’s are usually brighter and have a more defined mid-range. They are like super single coils.

[@pedalheadgeardemos]

I forget. I think I used my boss ME 80 distortion with the Marshall stack amp modeler.
