steve barnabas Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 my guitar is epiphone les paul costum, i like to play all about 60s music, especially roc n roll, psychedelic rock, blues rock n little bit of jimmy page hard rock, so maybe one of you can help me to give some recommendation pick ups for replace my old pick ups? thank you very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gashole Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Check into some Gibson P94's. They sound very much like a real P90 (though I do think there is a difference) P90's are the 60's sound in my opinion. You'd have to do some cutting to put them into your Paul, that's why I suggest P94's- they'll slide right in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkW Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Google GFS pickups and they make humbucker sized P-90's that fit right in and the price is reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 PAF's and/or '57's will epitomize the "humbucker" sounds, too. Plus, you'll (eventually) need to get a semi-hollow body...335 style, and/or Gretsch & Rickenbacker (especially the 12-string), for a true '60's vibe. Fender Strat and Tele's, too.

[/quote'] or seymour duncan p90 phat cat pups should do, they're less expensive and if you get a nickel silver cover they reduce hum somewhat. i believe they cancel hum in the middle pickup switch position too. and charlie is right, you're going to need a hollow/semi hollow guitar eventually (the casino is hollow w/ p90's, very 60's-ish, but no center block...) I'm going to eventually need a solidbody... (i think I'll get myself a firebird or a telecaster) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennW Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Gibson '57 Classics. Get the real ones (IF you're going to keep the guitar), they work and will save you time and money trying other stuff. Make sure to use .022uF caps with 500K pots. IME a .047 will ruin the sound of a HB and a P-90. All IMHO, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
