batwing Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Any advice or experiences on replacing the pickups in my MIC Riviera? I'm leaning toward Lollars because of the replacements I put in my avri jazzmaster which are a big improvement to the stock fenders. I'm all ears.

RaSTuS Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I'm all ears. Is that how you earned your nickname, LOL ? Sorry can't help on the Lollars, but there's some avid fans of them here, I'm sure they'll chime in when they notice the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you may have answered your own question...since you love the Lollar replacements, on your other guitar. They make excellent pickups. "I" would, most likely, get Gibson Mini's, myself. All of those, I've heard, and owned, have been great! But, that's just me! I have a '76 LP Deluxe, and AIUSA Epi Sheraton, both will Gibson Mini's. They're awesome!

Fantana Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I have a set of these and absolutely love them, they will play nearly all styles and just sing like no other - http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/electric/specialized/mini-humbucker/1101411_12_anti/ Good Luck!

SpruceTop Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I’m sure the Lollar’s are great. I had a set of their P-90’s in an Epi ’56 Gold Top before. I was lucky enough to find one that came with them. But I couldn’t spend $300 on pu’s for my MIC Riviera. So I put GFS Fat Mini’s in mine. $36/ea. plus shipping. They are an improvement over the stock ones – there’s more beef to the tones. And the main benefit to me is the 4 conductor wiring. I put in a push/pull switch to coil cut the back coils of each pu. Add the B60 Bigsby and now I have a seriously versatile Riviera. Anyway, just another option in case $ is any concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
