yoshiii1 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) Hello I bought a Epiphone Lucille. I want to upgrade the pickups. The stock ones arent bad but still have that dull and bassy sound to it that Epiphone pickups seem to have. I will play stuff like The Cure, Foo Fighters, Rush, Steely Dan. I will play Jazz and Blues too. I want a pickup that has good definition, string clarity, warm, and sustain and is good for cleans and gain, and some light high gain. Not metal gain. I will get a Les Paul for more high gain and super heavy distortion. Which would be better? The 490's or the 57 classics? I want to be able to play Jazz too.

Marky Forrest Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I have both and both are excellent. I like the 57's a bit more though and I think they would suit you well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Gibson BB Kings come with 490's. I had one and loved the pups, but many don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
