I get what you're asking but I have no idea. You'd need to talk to an electrical engineer who understands signal interference and is familiar with pickup construction. Good luck!

For double humbucker LP/LP-style guitars, if I set the pickup selector switch to mid (blend) and set 1 volume knob to zero and the other to >zero, will there be any sound from the pickup that is not at zero? Or must both knobs be at >zero? I'm having an argument with a guitar tech about this and wanted to get a 2nd opinion. Thanks, Stephen Hello there,

I also have a 2000 Epi Standard LP which seems to be more confortable to play than my 2003 Custom. I don't know why,,but it took me awhile to get adjusted to the Custom. Same bodys,,,go figure,,,mabey I was afriad of the Custom because it's so pretty,,Alpine White. The Standard is black & still has the Epiphone humbuckers in it while the Custom has a S/M Duncan in the bridge. Both guitars were built at the Saine Plant in Korea.

Pickups are great. They're not 1957 PAFs but they sound like humbuckers! As good or worse than your Epiphone, only you can answer that one my friend. If you love an instrument, it will love you back. All I can say is don't sweat the details, every guitar sounds different, unique, and I have yet to hear ANY electric guitar sound bad. If you gave Steve Vai or Guthrie Govan one of those crappy, toy store, amp included, shrink wrapped electrics...

I am planning on getting a new Gibson Studio LP soon. I have two questions,,are the stock pickups in the Studio any good? And,,,is that stock Studio going to sound as good as my Epi? I am happy with the Epiphone, it plays as good as it can,,,only my lack of talent holds it back. I have a 2003 Saine Plant Korean Epiphone Custom LP with a S/M Duncan bridge pickup.
