jetiii Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 Iommi and 57 Classic I like your custom made SG Iommi special on your website! OurBlack SG is similar with only one Iommi black pickup, no crosses or extras though, but it sounds great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitareal Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 i currently use P90s and Burstbucker Pros in my Gibson LP Push-Tone. I really like the combination of the two for bridge (BB pro) and neck(P90) and the variety of sounds they give me. Nevertheless, I 'm looking for some alternative pickups closer to heavy/distortion kind of music (while keeping, if possible, the "clean" sounds intact). From the Gibson Gear site i've selected (based on their specs, not really tried them) the following: - Dirty Fingers - 496R / 500T Also i ve heard good words about the Iommi's Has anyone tried the above pups so that maybe a comparison can be made (always concerning the quality of sound in "dirty" and "clean" Thanks!

badjuju342 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I will tell you this: The Tony Iommi pickups are one of the most difficult to make in the entire Gibson line , very painstaking and time consuming.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripper Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I like T-tops myself and the old dirtyfingers are pretty good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gitfidl Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Does anybody know what pickups come standard in the Washburn J6? and what pickups come standard in the Gibson L-5 CES electric? OK I found the answer on the Internet L-5CES Hardware includes twin gold Gibson PAF style humbucking pickups The Washburn J6 is a G!b$@n L-5 Replica.. older discontinued series of J-6s are becoming pretty RARE now ..quite difficult to find .. among the best players available dollar for dollar. Built using the same construction methods and high grade premium woods by the very same makers of the High end Aria guitars of this era (1980's) http://www.jvguitars.com/showproduct.pl?id=1098218374 2 Washburn 800 series humbucking pickups So .. what would it take to upgrade to the Gibson pickups? The PAF style humbucking pickups?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioginy Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I'm a huge fan of the '57 classics. I pit one in the bridge and paired it with a Lollar Charlie Christian in the neck and it SINGS!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
