captmidnight Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 put everything back stock? maybe try different pick ups? Capt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbyk Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 never liked those pickups to begin with. I myself would have gotten some Duncans to put in there if I was going to go through the trouble. I would also do coil splitting with a Jimmy Page style wiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWANG Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I had lp custom pups in my sheri for a while... swapped the bridge for a 500t and lived with that for quite a while.. but wasn't happy still. It definately sounds to me that the pups are what you don't like. the rest should be fine. Take stock of the specs.. what were your originals.. what are the new ones. then consider the differences in tone and move toward a better version of what you had judging in part by reviews and whichever you can listen to in person. the neck pup in my dot studio is darker than the neck pup in mysheri.. same pickup! so it's not all the pup! But that's still your best bet. TWANG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
