sparquelito Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 lolo_guitar, I have the Seymour Duncan Dimebucker SH-13 pickup in the bridge position on my Les Paul, and it meets all your requirements, re; harmonics, sustain, and feedback. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/humbucker-pickups/seymour-duncan-sh-13-dimebucker-pickup For a fat, awesome sound in the neck position, I recommend the Seymour Duncan SH-1 1959 model pickup. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/humbucker-pickups/seymour-duncan-sh-1-1959-model-electric-guitar-pickup Both will drop right in without any wood-cutting or modifications. You do have to do a bit of soldering. Just my two cents worth. (Okay. More like my $170 worth...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparquelito Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 i know the sh1 : is it different from the 490r? sh13? i don't want ceramic ! The SH-1 will have a slightly lower output, but a much smoother tone at lower volumes. And a nice fat tone at higher volumes (much more usable than the 490r, by all accounts). I have no particular bias against ceramic magnets myself. I just know what sounds good, and the Dimebucker sounds really, really good. The bottom line, no matter what you end up purchasing; Give a listen to any number of youtube videos. You will find a pickup that does it for you.
