tosom Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I was really disappointed with the humbuckers. I think they are not good for any playing stile. They are not worth the guitar price. For me, a prog metal based player I'll buy some diMarzio pickups. I'm really annoyed. What you feel about those custom gibson pickups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco can Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Im in the oposite side. My impresions are very good, I do like the tone in normal setting, the paralel sounds too. I get nice twang in the midde position in paralel pickups. mode. I like to play jazz with neck position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tosom Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 When you talks about twang (I'm not used with this terminology) I supose you talk about the accent with the bridge pickup (overall), It has a sharp attack. I thought that it would be good for rythmic music and with an autoWah it becomes crazier, I apologize for saying that it wouldn't fit any style, it's more like the sound doesn't fit the playing I like. With more fat sound. But it is really wierd for me, it is like a really thin and bright sound. For playing another brick in the wall of Pink Floyd it's perfect that really true. Thanks for share your opinion, I hope more people say what they think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it in middle position with paralel wiring active in both pickups. Thin and bright ? Its like talking of diferent pickups. I supose your wiring is correct.
