Ciao dall'Italia

Ciao a tutti i membri di questo splendido forum,mi chiamo Davide sono un cuoco e sto cercando di imparare a suonare la chitarra classica. Intanto scrivo nella mia lingua originale poi credo che tutti avrete un traduttore nel computer.
Vorrei costruirmi una Les Paul chitarra,farmela dei colori che dico io e renderla unica e speciale ,perchè sarà fatta tutta da me!! Io ho un solo problema che mi pongo,ossia se dotare già di altro tipo di pickups,in ogni caso cerco proprio un suono simile alla les paul oppure come pickup di gibson ES 339 ,ES 335,il suono che emettono queste chitarre mi piacciono molto. Sono indeciso per i pickups benson oppure un set degli altri ma non saprei quali andrebbero bene per me. Ma poi come suonano i pickups di serie dentro il kit? leggevo in giro che qualcuno consigliava di cambiarli ma non so se si riferiva proprio ai kit della pitbull guitars!!
Ciao a tutti e buona giornata!!!

G'day David, Welcome to the Forum.

Hi David. Welcome.

My Italian is very limited (non existent) but it looks like you are looking at a Les Paul with Benson pickups?

Hope someone can translate so that you end up with what you want.

Cheers (Ciao), Waz

Ciao Davide, welcome to the forum.

I would suggest that you do look at changing the pickups form the ones that come with the kit. I would suggest you look at the Tonerider Alnico II pickups as they aren't expensive, but give you 95% of the tone that the high-end pickups give.

New and recent ES 335s and 339s normally come fitted with Gibson's Classic '57 pickups, which were their previous attempt at recreating a PAF style pickup. Obviously, original 2ES335s came fitted with PAF pickups! The Tonerider Alnico II pickups are PAF style pickups and will get you closest to a standard Gibson 335 sound. Obviously a Les Paul is a solid body guitar (unless you choose an ES-2V kit) so you won't get quite the same sound from it as an ES 335, but they are quite similar. But if you like an ES 335 sound, why not try an ES-1 kit? Or don't you like the larger body of a 335 compared to a Les Paul?

For others (like me) who can only understand a bit of Italian, here's the Google translated version of David's text:

Hello to all members of this wonderful forum, my name is David, I am a cook and I'm trying to learn to play classical guitar. Meanwhile I write in my original language then I think everyone will have a translator on the computer.

I would like to build me a Les Paul guitar, the colors make me what I say and make it unique and special, because it will be all done by me !! I have one problem that I pose, that is, if already equip other types of pickups, in any case, I try to just such a les paul sound or as pickup gibson ES 339, ES 335, the sound they make these guitars I really like . I'm undecided for pickups benson or a set of others but do not know which would go well for me. But then how to play the standard pickups in the kit? I read around that someone advised to change but do not know if he was referring just to the pitbull guitars kit !!
Hello everyone and good day !!!

Welcome David.

Hi David, Welcome to the forum

Greetings David, and welcome to the forum.

.

Thanks so much! I was watching as a kit LP-1S, fascinated me the color of the wood to be honest. Gibson guitars 339 emits a great sound, and you can do different types of music, I'm studying guitar and I'd like something like this. So the pickups of the kit are not going well? That the name adopted pickups Tonerider?That the gibson guitar 339 is a cross between a Les Paul and ES335 as measures, in sound approach slightly. thank you so much

When you buy other pickups they will then come anyway even those in the kit?

There is normally an option to buy the kit without the standard pickups if you want to fit alternative pickups. It saves you a bit of money, not a lot, but you also save a bit on import duty as well, so it all starts to add up. You can buy your replacement pickups locally, rather than import them from Australia. I do.

Ciao David, welcome

Can you tell me which model is more akin to a ES339? The guitar that I've recommended you is beautiful but I did not mind the Bolt on neck, maybe I prefer it so the handle.

les paul neck bolt on,pickups stock I doubt if they sound good, I love the sound of a gibson es 339

Don't be too quick to dismiss the stock pick ups. Taking the price of the kit into account, they produce a very good sound for their cost.

Here's the PBG ES-335 style kit. Unfortunately it only comes with gold hardware, which wouldn't be my choice.

It is not bad sound, you can actually change the pickups later. your guitar in the video? Les Paul model with Bolt on neck that I like this idea, can be great guitar that one day you can do different upgrades

if I had to make a semi-hollow body guitar I'd like something like that is like ES339 measures, a cross between a Les Paul and ES335, however, the kits do not see a type es339 configuration. However it is not ugly ugly hardware and gold would look good on dark colors, I personally would choose between chrome or gold.

No 339 style at the moment. There is a semi-hollow Les Paul in the range which will get closest to the 339 sound if you want a smaller body than a 335 style.
