«  Modern, tight grain, medium »

I just mount it on my Epiphone Les Paul Standard, it's all good. Before I had a couple Gibson 500T 496R, but I'm tired.
The sound is quite compressed, modern, I feel there is a slight hollow in the low mids, not unpleasant, really the type of sound I expect from a Les Paul, powerful, full bodied and edge at a time.
Less gain that the mics 500T ceramic, but more than the classic 57.
The tone is very warm, rich mids well, not much treble, the criticism I would make him, he lacks a bit of treble and thus shine, but hey, more than enough presence to break into a mix anyway.
Very good sustain.

I speak only of its crunch, because it is the only one I use.
I'm happy with the mic, I have another LP mounted Burstbucker # 2, sounds are complementary.
Cheap and effective, will revive a good ptite Epiphone, recommend.
