martin_castro's Metal Music Gear Setup
The 2002 Epiphone Les Paul Standard my father bestowed upon me to be the ultimate riff machine. I've upgraded it with Fishman Fluence Modern pickups, Hipshot locking tuners, Tone-o-Matic bridge & tailpiece, and a Graphtech TUSQ XL nut. Tuned for Drop B/A# with Dunlop Jim Root Signature Guitar Strings (56, 42, 36, 20pl, 15, 11).
