The pickups on the Silverburst Les Paul Custom are Gibson P-94 Pickups.


Correcting myself. They are actually Seymour Duncan Phat Cats. :)

in a 2006 artist update on seymour duncans page.

it claims that matt uses jb/jazz humbuckers.

can someone confirm if he still does? or what pickups he actually uses now?

what distortion did he use for the goddamnit album?


I'm pretty sure it was some more modern marshall, like a JCM800 or 900.

Matt also uses a Fender Super Sonic head. I just noticed that that wasn't on the list, and every time i have seen them, he has always had it up on stage.

I saw them in concert a couple months ago and the pickups in his silverburst les paul we're definitely phatcats p90's or something similar, the pole pieces were located in the middle of the pickup instead of the front or rear.
