The original pair of T Top humbuckers offer a bridge position with a round, chiming quality, and digging in yields growl and great cut. The neck position humbucker has bold warmth without sacrificing detail, providing a perfect lead sound and a sweetness that lends itself to complex chord voicings. This Les Paul Standard benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
