CUSTOM1980 Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 OK FELLA'S, WHAT IS THE BEST PICKUP YOU HAVE HEARD IN A LES PAUL?
CUSTOM1980 Posted October 6, 2009 Author Posted October 6, 2009 OK DOM, THANKS FOR THE REPLY.... I KNOW ITS A STICKY TOPIC, BUT I NEED ALOT OF FEEDBACK ON THIS ONE. WERE TALKING HARD ROCK TONE ANY IDEAS?
CUSTOM1980 Posted October 7, 2009 Author Posted October 7, 2009 WELL I SEEM TO BE LEANNG TOWARD A GIBSON 57+ THIS IS FOR MY 1980 GIBSON LES PAUL CUSTOM... ANY OTHERS OUT THERE THAT CAN HELP A FELLOW GIBSON PURIST OUT?
max2343 Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 I had a EMG 81 wired Straight to the Input Jack and it Was Real Good then I Swapped it out for a Burstbucker III and it was the Hottest thing For a While Then I Swapped out the Stock Caps with Custom 1Meg ones and its Been Low D/C Resistance Pups Ever Since. Like the 490R/490T's with a PA-2 Boost. The Tones Incredible. But theirs this Set thats stock in my 84 Explorer (Dirtyfingers) in a Alder Body that Does not Sound Like any of the Newer Sets and they are Real Sweet and Sound Real Good Pumped up with lots of Distortion
CUSTOM1980 Posted October 7, 2009 Author Posted October 7, 2009 ANY THOUGHTS ON DUNCAN OR DIMARZIO'S??
Laney1566 Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 Well, I am biased, but Ace always ran DP100 Super Distortion.....They sound great!!
DAS44 Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 Dirty fingers... If you're lookin for a hard rock tone.... that's the best thing I can think of
ledzep59 Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 The best pickup I've heard is easy- an original 1959 PAF.
CUSTOM1980 Posted October 14, 2009 Author Posted October 14, 2009 WELL MY CUSTOM CAMEWTIH THE "GIBSON ORIGINALS" PICKUP SET WHICH IS SUPPOSEDLY THE ORIGINAL SETH LOVER DESIGN. ANY THOUGHTS ON THOSE?
tazzboy Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 So far the Tim Shaws in my 82 Les Paul Standard. Burstbucker Pro would be next.
davie garden Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 You should have a look at 'Bare Knuckle' pickups, there's a good range to choose from, email them with your needs and they'll recommend what ones you need, They make 'calibrated sets' i.e. neck and bridge matched, they can wire them for coil taps if that's what you need. They are based in England and a growing number of players are fitting them into Les Pauls among other types of guitar.
