So today I have decided to join the Les Paul club and bought myself an Epiphone Les Paul Custom Black Beauty 3 ? I've always wanted one of those and now, I have one ?

Looks pretty awesome man ?

The triple humbuckers have always disorientated me visually, how much of a difference is there in the tonality between them?

Was this the one on Gumtree? Was hoping to snag that :'(

Very nice though

wow - in the previous pages of my book, triple humbuckers only worked on an SG. that however, looks pretty awesome. nice buy and congratulations.

Very nice lookin'. Very nice indeed.

This is a limitation or opportunity of pickup choice. I'm guessing that with stock Epi pickups, the difference will not be tremendous. But the middle pickup gives you some options when putting in replacements. You can put something really zany in the middle. Or wire it out of phase with the bridge and alter the switching to run the bridge and the middle together for some nice quack.

The same goes for any 3 humbucker Les Paul. Stock, all the pickups are almost the same, and hence the middle pickup doesn't add that much. But start playing with pickup choices and wiring, and you can do some very cool stuff.

Plus they just look bitchin' ?

Nice one!

And now you have it up on Gumtree for double the price ?

Haha I'm not too excited to get rid of it. But hey, if someone gives me what I want for it, why not? ? I'll sell it and wait for another one to pop up ?
