jonb Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Hi Duane I posted a while ago regarding the missing pick ups in an ET-275 - you were hoping to have some info for me - I have been away for a while so was just giving you a call The owner of the guitar I have been bringing back to life says he would like to have pickups of the same "vintage" - I know it's only a '71 but I think he means the same type of pick up - does anyone know what spec they would have been or know what spec their original 275s are Note: I am not bypassing Duane on this it's just that someone may already know without having to test, remove parts etc Many thanks Jon B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkuss Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Do you mean you want guitars pickups of that era or just that type? If of that era then a 70s Aria is your best bet but you're probably best off just going for new ones that fit and sound good. I sold my ET-278 because the humbuckers sounded dead. I know duane's sound great but I didn't have the time/effort/money to get mine sounding good or replacing them so i sold it for twice what i bought it for.

jonb Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 Thanks for your reply I have heard that the original PUs were not too good on sound and output - I'm not that hot on the right terms but what sort of resonant peak am I looking for in a replacement - I would think they were fairly low about 7.5k ish? The owner doesn't have a very heavy sound so I am looking for the right pairing for a bridge & neck set and to keep it close to the original vibe of the guitar Oh yeah...and cost may play a part in it as well!

duane v Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 here is one on Ebay starting at $160 with original case.... But I'll bet it will close at $600, because it's clean. http://cgi.ebay.com/Epiphone-Crestwood_W0QQitemZ220418337708QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item3351f4ebac&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
