hi ive just recently bought my first epiphone which is a black beauty. i love the guitar but ive been thinking about upgrading the pickups i was wondering what ones with go well with the guitar. i ve been looking at the seymour duncan alnico pro II's would these work well? also how do i match the middle pickup?

The A2Ps are excellent replacements PUs. But really it depends on your musical taste if they would work for you. I'd say good for blues and rock but def. not metal.

 

The middle PU can be whatever you want, keep the output the same tho.

 

Keep in mind that if you want to dabble with any kind of "in and out of phase/series/split"-switcheroo, you will get better results if PUs are the same or similar(matched).

thanks one of the main reasons i was looking at them was because slash and jimmy page use them. And there two of my heros lol. so i think i might go for them.

If i were you I'd leave the middle pup stock and just upgrade the other 2. Middle pups are just for show on 3 humbucker guitars; they add very little tonally. Look great though!
