LPzeppelin Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Right now, i have a LP Classic with the stock 496R & 500T pickups. The other guitarist in my band has a Fender American Strat with Lace pickups and the clean tone blows the tone clean on my LP out of the water (but mine kills distortion ) Any suggestions and a beautiful sounding neck pickup for this guitar?

GingerSG Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 57' classics might be alright if you're wanting gibson pickups. I've had them for 2 guitars and the clean tone is quite good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikko18 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 van zandt pickups are the best. just google van zandt pickups and you will find the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepblue Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 stock 496R & 500T pickups Those are pretty powerful pups...theyll make your amp break up sooner then others. BB Pros are nice, and as was said the 57's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Nahum Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I have a 2002 Les Paul Special with the same pickups as yours - one of the aged cherry (UV-cured) ones. If your amp has both a lo-gain input and a hi-gain input, have you tried plugging into the lo-gain (input 2 on a blackface or silverface Fender)? I find that this really cleans up the tone. Or have you tried lowering the neck pickup? If you are keen to try another pickup and it doesn't have to be Gibson, there are some pickup winders who would be happy to speak to you and put something together to meet your needs.
