Aubie923 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Is anyone using this combination, and if so what are your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin134 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I have had this combo reccomended heavily by several different guitar shops for both my black beauty and a standard and plan on putting them in the standard for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskank Sally Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 My LP has a Dimarzio SuperD in the bridge and a Duncan SH-2(jazz) in the neck. (The Fred I wanted was on back-order so I said F it and went with the SH-2 that was in stock) Honestly...? It's not a bad combo but the SH-2 is a tad darker than I wanted... so it gets rolled back a tad in 'lead' switching to allow the brightness of the SD to get out. On darker leads it (SH-2) is King.

geetar playr Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 The Duncan combination you've mentioned is the classic pickup configuration from SD, so you can't go wrong, I think, with these in your LP. If you scan the Duncan forum you can find the pros/cons of these. Some folks don't like 'em and some rave about 'em. I'd also take a look at Duncan '59's (SH-1) also. That's what I have in my Epi LP Custom, and they are truly a work of beauty. I'd put my Epi against any Gibson with these pickups in it. I also am using Dimarzio Tone Zone/bridge and Air Norton/neck for my Ibanez ARX320. These pickups are also amazing. Just got 'em in, so I'm still getting used to them and how they compare to the Duncans. You've got some other options for pickups if the JB/Jazz doesn't do it for ya.

RotcanX Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I ended up with that set-up in my '78 SG. Originally I had a DiMarzio PAF in the neck but I swapped it out for the Jazz. Great set of pickups. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great set of pickups. Is the PAF (Pro?) you had hotter than the SH-2? Or Is it similar How would you compare the two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben_Dot Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I put the Jazz/JB pickups in a Dot and tapped them in a parallel/single/series and the tone brings a smile my face. It added a wide range of tones that the stock pickups could not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RotcanX Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Is the PAF (Pro?) you had hotter than the SH-2? Or Is it similar How would you compare the two? It was just a regular PAF. Perhaps a tad hotter than the Jazz... but hard to make a comparison. However now that PAF is over 20 years old and she's aged really nicely.

Aubie923 Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 Thanks for all of your replies. Before I sink another $150.00 into my LP, I decided to try a set of GFS crunchy PAFs. I ordered them today. I hope I don't regret it. $57.00 for both pick ups delivered. I will post my thoughts once I get them installed. Thanks again for all of your responses.
