Bring Back Transfat!
Just got an Epi Les Paul Standard that seems a little "too warm". What's a good set up to clean it up just a bit? I like the muddy tones, but can I swap one of the humbuckers for something a little more defined? -Thanks
 
maybe try tweaking pickup height..

... or if you have the pickups with the adjustable pole pieces, you might try lowering them a tad, or maybe rasing them, i dunno :)
If the sound still sucks after tweaking them, you can get some nice replacements from Gibson or Seymour Duncan or something..
 
Find some older stock Gibson pickups,especially the ones made between '64 and '72.They had a sweeter top end than the old PAF style that everyone tries to recreate.
