what about some hologram type things? when you play live they pick up the spotights (if there is any) really well, get like a beam coming off the guitar

Put some stickers on it  There's no "better" way to ruin a guitar.I really don't know... id oyu got active EMG's you could do the 18v mod by adding another battery. -------------------- My bands homepage

There's always crap like this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Electric-Guitar-LED-li...1QQcmdZViewItem Stickers do muck up a guitar, for sure. Nothing adds character like excessive wear on an instrument, perhaps hours and hours more practice time .If you wanted something a little more flamboyant perhaps consider another guitar all together, an LP is on the conservative end of the spectrum as far as guitar bodies go. -------------------- "King V" enthusiast

Maybe just trade in your Epi for one of these bad boys. it will improve your sound and looks Check out one of these babies
Same EMGs as yours but with a 20db boost you can adjust and toggle on to stand out in solos or sustain a chord longer. Plus the neck thru construction aught to give you comparable sustain. If your LP has a pickguard, might find more outlandish pick guards. Might get a good friend to stencil/paint a cool flourish/design behind your tailpiece of your bridge. If you're really aching to get to something more flamboyant, might check out getting a pair of those gloves cops use to direct traffic with and cut the fingers off, that way your hands will be fluorescent orange or yellow w/ reflective patches on the palms. EDIT: DUH! get new speed knobs. I got some for my schecter that are clear cylinders w/ skulls w/ red eyes. Kind of tacky, sure. And you can always upgrade your strap to something more appropriate.

the thing is, changing my LP for a V wouldnt be a good idea. i love the weight of the LP. i try to play my friends guitar and its way to light!
the only knobs i'd want are ones that go to 11... just because! pickguard is a good idea. i dont use mine because its cream and looks horrible. -------------------- Guitars: Epiphone Les Paul Standard w/ Dual EMG 81 Pickups.

You want heft? Then get one of these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/BC-Rich-Acrylic-Series...1QQcmdZViewItem It's a guitar made out of plate glass. You know the aquariums with like 3 feet of acrylic glazing that they keep whales in and stuff? Yeah, that's the same stuff this guitar is made out of. Very heavy duty. -------------------- "King V" enthusiast
