rojasj Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I have a Epi LS Special II that I've been playing for awhile now. I'd like to replace the pickups with a new set that give a brighter sound. Can anyone recommend a pair of pcikups for this EPI? I was thinking about replacing the stock pickups with a set of Seymour Duncan Vintage Blues '59 Humbucker's that I saw on Guitarcenter's website. Also, where can I get the wiring diargam for my Epi? Thanks, Javier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiggy Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 for wiring go to seymour duncan's website. Somewhere here there are loads and loads of wiring diagrams. One of them for two pickups two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canine Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I'm working on a LP Special project and added a pair of GFS humbuckers from Guitarfetish... A nice improvement over the stock pickups at a fraction of the cost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rojasj Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 Hey Canine, Which GFS Humbuckers did you get? Javier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canine Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 For the project Im working on I went with the Crunchy PATs, for what I read they provide just what I'm looking for. I heard very good things about the Vintage 59s, but I ain't tried them just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyushPresley Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 yup i'd say go to guitarfetish.com.. they sell pick ups at fraction of a cost and they are really very good as i have heard from some of the forum members.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antwhi2001 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 When you check out the wiring diagram, be aware that there is more than one way to connect it all up, so you may find your current wiring is different to any of the diagrams you find on the net. That one confused me for a while. If it's more brightness you're after, if the pups you've chosen still don't quite give you what you want, you could try swapping out the tone capacitor on either pickup. A cheap and easy mod if you can use a soldering iron. Different cap values give you different degrees of dark/bright tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeMan Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Just wondering what you thought of the difference between these two seymour pups the Pearly Gates or Dimebucker for the bridge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canine Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I wonder how the Epi Special II would sound with a set of P90s... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
