britpoper Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Hi folks I am thinking of putting a pair of gold gfs vintage 59s in my sheraton. The matched pair that guitar fetish have says that the neck one is a paff. Is any body using these in a sheraton? I have put some in my dot and I am very happy with them.

jcwillow777 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I've got them in my Dot and Sherry and I love 'em. Go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermionik Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Not used them myself, but played them a couple of times..... I have Seymour Duncan 59's (with no covers) on my '96 Sheraton II - and love them, though they were not straightfoward at first..... that is to say, they took a little getting used to. Bright to the point of giving rough dissonant partials too much prominence through my Bassman, though fine through the deeper Sound City. But lowering them to a sweeter sound and slightly altering my picking position sorted things - and the guitar tone controls did the rest (just take the top edginess off). The GFS (I think) are Alnico5 and around the 8kohm range - so very similar in that respect. I have heard people say they are smoother than the SD's, other people suggesting they are duller. Personally I would say "more mellow" sounding. Great for Jazz through Blues - not so good into the Metal end of things. Got to be worth a try if that's your bag.....

vomer Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I did, happy with them as humbuckers but I prefer p90's so I went for GFS Dream 90's. If I was going to have budget 'buckers I'd have stuck with them. Indeed, go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
