gratedmb21 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Alright, got the guitar back today from a local luthier. I wanted to add a push/pull pot to my current setup. Well the bad news the stock humbuckers in the guitar are only 2 conductor. So, if I still want to do that setup I'll have to upgrade to 4 conductor humbucker setup. With that being said, what are some good aftermarket 4 conductor humbuckers (i.e. WCR Crossroads, Seymour Duncan, Dimarzio, Angus Young etc.) I was looking to get that 'PAF' sound. I mostly play classic rock and blues. If this helps, the whole reason I was trying to get the push/pull pot was because of Jimmy Page's LP, so that shows you want sound I was 'trying' to get. Any comments would be appreciated. I know you guys will lead me in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FennRx Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 i contacted gibson and the schematics they sent me for the JP wiring used the 496/500 ceramic pickups that come in the LP Classic. that being said, the 496/500t dont really give me that 70s tone. i like the BB Pros in my LP Std for that.

gratedmb21 Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 I had BurstBucker Pros in the guitar, but they are only 2 conductors. I was so mad, because I love the sound of those pickups. My guitar is a Gibson Les Paul Standard Premium Plus. I got the schematics from Stew-Mac. They have the updated schematics for the current Page replica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson CS Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Its amazing how many guys ( Myself included ) dig that 70's tone. Do you think in 20 or so years people will be into the Y2K tone? I dont think so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plank_Spanker Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Choosing new pickups is a harrowing experience. All you have to go on are internet clips, the advice you trust, and your own "sixth sense". May your choice be sound and wise..............................

gratedmb21 Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 Ok, I think I am going to go ahead and go with Wolfetones I am going to use my current pickups, have them rewound and add the 4 conductor setup to them. $100/pair shipped Ok, now I have to decide between the three different types... Marshallhead Legend Dr. Vintage http://www.wolfetone.com/productsandpricing.html I am looking for a good classic rock/blues sound. My current pickups are BurstBucker Pros, which have Alnico 5 magnets already in them if that makes a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
