texas special Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 hi, I would like to replace the pickups installed in my 1992 GR4 with an Evans HSS Hot Lead and Hot Rhythm set that I found used online and I am thinking of buying: before I disassemble everything and buy the set I would like to understand if these pickups will sound good on the guitar which should have a maple body and graphite neck ... has anyone had experience and can help me figure out if it will improve my current sound? Thanks for the reply! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r2bflash Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Do you still have the original Seymour Duncan pickups in the GR4? If so I would doubt that what you want to replace them with will sound better. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texas special Posted May 10, 2021 Author Share Posted May 10, 2021 Thanks for the reply. Yes, I still have the original Seymour Duncan pickups but the sound bored me a bit, in particular the neck pickup and the one in the middle I never really liked it, perhaps because of the maple ... I was looking for something different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou350v63 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I just bought a used 1991 GR4 in Black and some one replaced the original Seymour Duncan pickups with EMG81 in the bridge and S/A S/A in the middle and neck. I don't like EMG pickups they are (Junk) so now I bought the Seymour Duncan Humbucker for the neck and Hot Rails for the middle and neck. I just don't understand why anyone would put EMG's in a GR4.
