Title: Richard's and Robin's and Ron's Les Pauls Post by: Layne Staley's Sunglasses on May 29, 2006, 07:01:14 PM OK, was it me, or did Robin and Richard have their pickup selectors removed, while Ron had his in the usual spot. What gives?

What gives? Robin has his selector in one of the knobs, Richard was in the usual place as far as I could see. Title: Re: Richard's and Robin's and Ron's Les Pauls Post by: Jimmy? on May 30, 2006, 06:16:06 AM Did you know Ron won that les paul in a competition that he won when he was younger! Caused some problems though because he was over the age limit to enter but still got in :hihi: : ok:

Title: Re: Richard's and Robin's and Ron's Les Pauls Post by: AdZ on June 06, 2006, 01:30:59 PM Speaking of Les Paul's Richard's that he plays in IRS, what's up with it?
Title: Re: Richard's and Robin's and Ron's Les Pauls Post by: Layne Staley's Sunglasses on June 06, 2006, 01:31:42 PM The black one?
Title: Re: Richard's and Robin's and Ron's Les Pauls Post by: AdZ on June 08, 2006, 01:07:34 PM The kind of silver/metallic black one yeah. How does he get the acoustic sound?
I'm assuming some sort of magic pickup.. Title: Re: Richard's and Robin's and Ron's Les Pauls Post by: Skeba on June 08, 2006, 01:24:18 PM Acoustic sound can be done by piezo pickups.
For example Slash has one in his signature Les Paul. It's not _that_ expensive, but not worth installing into a low priced guitar. You can google it up. Title: Re: Richard's and Robin's and Ron's Les Pauls Post by: AdZ on June 08, 2006, 02:09:29 PM Yeah I figured they were the same thing, Richard's and Slash's sound nothing alike however.. which I found strange.
Title: Re: Richard's and Robin's and Ron's Les Pauls Post by: AXL 20 on June 08, 2006, 03:04:21 PM its a fishman power bridge with a piezo pickup inside
Title: Re: Richard's and Robin's and Ron's Les Pauls Post by: alexh0618 on June 08, 2006, 03:09:24 PM There are also acoustic-simulator pedals out there too.

I'm assuming some sort of magic pickup.. He uses acoustic simulators: (http://www.richardfortusonline.com/rfo2//images/pedalstopdrawerresize.jpg) Title: Re: Richard's and Robin's and Ron's Les Pauls Post by: Skeba on June 08, 2006, 06:02:40 PM Nice.. Do acoustic simulators require a piezo bridge too, or do they construct the sound from a normal pickup?

Do acoustic simulators require a piezo bridge too, or do they construct the sound from a normal pickup? they construct the sound from any normal pickup in an electric guitar. the rhythm guitarist in my band has one, they're pretty cool : ok: Title: Re: Richard's and Robin's and Ron's Les Pauls Post by: Mobenrad on June 14, 2006, 02:44:05 PM Robin Guitars::
