TGP gang,
I got a Les Paul Studio last year and, while I enjoy the guitar, there are some aspects that keep it from being a main guitar for me.
1. The pickups are hotter than most of my other guitars. I don't have a problem with this specifically, but this guitar gives nasty feedback (sounds like microphonic) at a lower volume than my other guitars. Are the pickups just bad? Is there anything I can do, short of replacing them, to fix this problem? If I do have to replace them, can I keep the pu covers on the guitar so the looks don't change?
2. The volume pots are incredibly non-linear. Should I just change them? If so, what to?
Thank you for any help offered.
Gregg
