Epiphones rock. That's a bad ass guitar. Congrats. That red one is perdy, nice choice. No idea on the p90's, hope you like them.
Epi's QC is marignal
OK, so this thread made me go out and buy an Epiphone SG Anniversary edition. You pricks, it's all your fault.
It's in the shop right now being changed into a lefty. When I get it back, I'll re-do the leads for this tune, for starters.

Damn dude! Congrats. That's awesome.
Just checking....not implying anything.....you know those in the pics are P-90 guitars right? Them aint humbuckers.
I don't think you screwed up. P-90s are awesome ..... they really sound much like a 'bucker but without the mud. They have a clarity most 'buckers lack.hehe....Look above.

I mentioned to a friend that knows guitars way better than I do that it has P-90's and asked him that I wanted a good, crucnhy sound like Angus. This is his response.
More or less accurate?:
"Angus would be a G400, Malcolm would be closer to a Casino. AC/DC is the sound of both together. Malcolm's sound has less focus, but it wouldn't be that band without that sound. Google Beatles Japan 66 to hear Casinos in their glory. Gary Clarke Jr plays ES330s,which is a Gibson Casino, and they're hot right now."
Thanx man. Ok cool. I always use their sound as the example of what I'm looking for, but I don't really want to sound JUST LIKE AC/DC. They're just an easy example to use because I think it's a time capsule sound. If you wanted someone in a 100 years to hear what the prototypical rock guitar sounded like, you'd put about 5 AC/DC intros in a time capsule and send them off. But I don't really want THEIR sound. Just a good, non-fizzy crunch.Both of the Youngs use humbucker guitars into very loud Marshalls. They also work their volume knobs and don't use a lot of gain. They also know how to pick to tailor their sound. You should be able to get a crunch tone similar to either of their sound without too much effort. You won't nail it down exactly, but pretty much no one does anyway. Just get close and you'll do great.

Noiz shmoiz. That's the least of my worries. I guess I'll just have to make sure I'm playing loud enough to drown out the noiz.I'm totally with ya there. To me, that is THE sound of rock and roll guitars. I quite often use their sound as blueprint for my own as well. I think you're gonna do very well with a P-90 guitar. They're great rock and roll pickups. Fatter than standard single coils, more articulate than typical humbuckers. A great combination in one pickup. The only drawback is they're noisy. But noise is awesome.
