dangeroso Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I love my Standard but am thinking about swapping out the pickups for a new flavor. What have you guys used, and what are your preferences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Plains Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Try searches for Wolfetone, Skatterbrane, Throbak, BareKnuckle. I have Wolfetones, great pickups! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPC666 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Have you ever tried a 57 Classic+ as a bridge pickup? I once had one in a Gary Moore LP (the older one not the new one) and it was brilliant for rock tones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangeroso Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 well... what do you have in your LP standard now? Burstbucker Pros how would you like to change your sound? I don't know exactly. I have no complaints. I'm just curious and like to tinker with my guitars. Something with more depth and overtones might be what I'm looking for. Have you tried changing the pickup height and/or polepiece height? I have. I tend to think of tones as colors. Raising / lowering pickups to my ears affects the saturation, but not the hue, if that makes any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
