buliwyf Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 The kind of music you play has a lot to do with what kind of PU's you want to change to.So what kind of music do you play on your new Vee.BTW you need to post some pics of your new guitar.

RaSTuS Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Im searching for something like that but different ;) and a bit cheaper would be great! Welcome to the forums, a great bunch around here, I hope you like the place. GFS make some fantastic pickups for those on a budget, I'm sure there'll be many suggestions on which would be the best for your situation. Info on how to post pics without size restrictions is in the start of the DIY thread pinned to the top of the Epi Lounge, a great thanks to our dear departed animalfarm (RIP) who created it, a true testament to his willingness to help others.

antwhi2001 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Nice V. Not sure what pickups you have on there, I assume they are the usual Asian Epi alnico humbuckers, which aren't bad, but can be improved on. I got lucky and got a 1991 Gibby V at a good price a few years ago. It had ceramic humbuckers which were a bit harsh for my tastes - I play classic rock and blues too. It's had various pickups in it over the years, Kent Armstrong alnicos worked well and are cheaper than Gibsons or SDs. I currently have Epi Elitist pickups in it, made by Gibson USA and in my experience just as good, I wouldn't swap them. I personally would not spend a lot on brand new Gibsons or SDs, I'd look around for secondhand ones at about half the price, stick to the alnico 2 or 5 magnets, and if you don't get a matched pair, make sure the bridge is a bit higher output than the neck (roughly 8 for the neck, 11ish for the bridge). If you see any Epi Elitist pickups, grab them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
