Gibson Les Paul PAF Pickup Comparison - Custombuckers vs Righteous Sound Pickups RAF

So how much difference does changing your pickups really make, especially when you already have a nice guitar? Well let's find out! In this video I compare my 2018 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul's stock Custombuckers to the Righteous Sound Pickups RAF side by side through a variety of tones and playing styles.

I purchased these on my own, and have no affiliation with the business. I just picked them because of positive things I had heard online.
