    i imagine that voltage shouldnt be a problem since the pickups only get powered through the amps and they are never going to be 110V i wouldn't think so.

    But then i don't know much about pickups and voltages, im just here making my point and making my post so i can get my name in colours :p

    Alnico Pro is only .. Let me Highlight ONLY for Les Pauls type neck. Since you have one it should not be much f a problem. The amps may require a transformer cause they have everything in 110 and we have everything worlking at 230v

    About processors, I may be able to help if you give me a Budget..

    Points and stuff.. JKeep postion and get points and buy amazing stuff at the Ushop..

    Ok.. Saurabh what will you do when you go to a concert, Take your PC with you?? HE he.. Anyways for 5-8 K you can get a Zoom 505 or a 707II or Karg AX100G.. I would go for the Third one cause its the cooler of the lot..

    Go for the Marshal 15 W .. Its called CD something.. Has amazing Distortion.. But even at concerts you have amps.. YOu need a PROCESSOR or A GADGET.. Like the ones i suggested..

    Factually Epiphone guitars are not american but come under the brandname Gibson Epiphone which is american. Epiphone guitars are made in Korea For Gibson Epiphone.You said you've got a south Asian Lp. Its likely that you guitar was made at a similar Factory like the one at Sakura. Don't get me wrong but Epiphone guitars are really good if properly setup.
    Besides buying a expensive guitar You may also have it professionally setup.
    I don't know if there are any professional luthiers in India.
    Even Rickey Medlocke - LYNYRD SKYNYRD and Billy Gibbons - ZZ Top use Epiphone LPs.
    Gibson Lps are great but Epiphones are great quality at the price.

    Even joe Perry of Aerosmith uses Epiphone LP.. Its called a Boneyard LP.. YOu can get your Guitar setup professionally here in India.. Aint that difficult..

    Not Really.Its just a signature model.
    The Epiphone Joe Perry Boneyard LP Standard is based on a Les Paul from Gibson's Custom Shop that Perry's wife Billie designed and presented to Perry as a Christmas present.

    Tell you what. You can Buy an Aria Pe-ltd or Pe-dlx Setneck for around that price. Aria is not marketed like Gibson or epiphone but I tell you its the works. Amazing finish Come with 2 Seymour Duncan Humbuckers.
    I've got one besides my Gibson and I like them both for what they do.
    I know you still won't believe what i say till you try it yourself.
    I happened to try it only by chance.

    Aria comes with really good Finishes.. But the Gibson makes a statement.. A good one..
