#Les paul pro fx how to
I don't like the Floyd trem arm but I guess I'll have to learn how to like it. Professional Features and a Floyd on a Les Paul Now you can have it all Epiphone’s new Les Paul Plustop PRO FX combines all the great features and looks in a Les Paul but adds a double-locking Floyd Rose(tm) tremolo and coil-tapping for an amazing combination of crunch and versatility.
#Les paul pro fx plus
That was a big plus that I didn't need to mess with the frets. I lowered the bridge height to get a lower action and did not run into any string buzz. In general it is built well, looks great, and plays great as well.

Its combined with an R4 locking nut for improved tuning stability. The Les Paul body is routed out in back of the tremolo to allow for pitch raising up to 2-1/2 steps while the downward range is wide enough to get the strings slack. I expected to rip it out immediately but wanted to give a shot since it was laying around and I'm pretty surprise how well it holds up against the PG. The Epiphone Pro/FX guitar features a Floyd Rose Special nickel-plated tremolo. Using the VEH by itself is a little brighter sound that I could use for our Lynynd Skynyd covers. The cheapie VEH GFS pu sounds pretty good and when used in conjunction with the PG brightens the sound quite a bit. It really does nail the Billy Gibbons tone but it also can sound "pretty" and has tons of sustain. I could live with the guitar on the neck Pearly Gates at all times. I run them on all my guitars and they sound great on the Pro/Fx as well. The new pickups really woke the guitar up and I am grabbing it a lot more now. Overall - Originally the guitar was pretty muddy and not what I would call a "go to" guitar. If not I'll wire them that way to see if it helps any. I want to check and see if they have them wired in parallel. The humbuckers aren't sounding great split. To do - I am going to go back in to check on the wiring. I have the brass block shipping my way and will get that in latter this week. I will say this, usually I have my tone at 10 but with the new caps I am finding great tones all over the knob.īrass Block - The block on that Floyd rose is thin and looks like pot metal to me. I installed these the same time I put in the pickups so I can't really gauge how big of a change they made but for $14 I'll probably do this to all my guitars to grab that retro "Bumble Bee" tone. Paper and oil capacitors - This is my first try with Russian caps. The Pearly Gates is everything I hoped it would be. I know the GFS should not be that great in comparison to the Pearly Gates but it is sounding pretty good. The satin neck, coil split humbuckers, Floyd Rose, and allen wrenches mounted on the neck put it in that category for me.Ĭhanged out the pickups - Neck Pearly Gates SD and bridge GFS VEH. The Epiphone Les Paul Pro/Fx fits that description.
