4Hayden Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I'm looking for the best pick up made,In your opinion what's the best one made ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bongoscot Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 It is such a subjective question that it is hard to answer. It depends so much on what you are playing and what sound you are looking for. Gibson classic 57s sound great to me, some people dont like them. Duncan makes some pickups that I like, Pearly Gates are popular, I like them as well as Seth Lovers, others dont. Its a tough question. Its like asking what type of woman is best. Redheads? Blonds? Brunnettes, skinny? full figured? tall? short? My answer is- Yes! So many correct answers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 "Gibson Gear" ??? IMHO, pre 2006 Gibby Classic 57s........The T-Tops, IMHO, are killer Gibby PUs......I learned that I actually used some Gibby "Dirty Fingers" in an SG in the 80s; Those were very good..........

Searcy Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 The last Studio I bought came with 57 Classics. Good pickups. I see no need to change them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 You might look into "Fuelie", "Wolftone", "Sheptone", "SearcyWorks", "MotorCityPickups"........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 You might look into "Fuelie", "Wolftone", "Sheptone", "SearcyWorks", "MotorCityPickups"........... Jason Lollar seems to be quite "guruish" on all things pickup related... http://www.lollarguitars.com/mm5/merchant.mvc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Wade Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Just for the sake of variety and a different approach: Bare Knuckle Pickups makes great products for a wide range of genres. Hand wound in the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueslespaultone Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 What amp are you playing through? Most Gibson pickups are great, take for instance the 490r 498T, I happen to find great tones through these. Would classic 57s or burstbuckers 1,2,3 sound better. Perhaps, but put any of these through a crappy amp,(notice didn't mention SS or brand);-) And they'll sound, meh.. I use mine through a DRRI and sounds awesome. Even through my Bjr. Nos. I'm sure if I put these through a Marshall ill be saying the same thing. First, evaluate your gear, then hunt for pickups... Just my 2cents Ps I've been down that road, in the end, retrospect is a funny thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev_21 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 "Gibson Gear" ??? IMHO, pre 2006 Gibby Classic 57s........The T-Tops, IMHO, are killer Gibby PUs......I learned that I actually used some Gibby "Dirty Fingers" in an SG in the 80s; Those were very good.......... I have a 3 sets of the "re-run" Dirty Fingers (one in my DXMGT, one in my Fender Custom Special Telecaster and the last set in my Epi LP SPT) and have found that those pickups cannot sound bad in any guitar (I am also a guitar tech so I could make a Wal-Mart toy guitar sound good though :P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzboy Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 If you want restrict Gibson Pickups 57 classic and classic plus. If you want to spend some money there are a lot aftermarket pickup makers out there that can make something that you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customguitars87 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 My vote is for Bareknuckle if you're not talking purely gibson pickups. Otherwise, the older PAFs rock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxicpizza73 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Gibson Classic 57 all the way! - it`s an totally versatile humbucker that could fit as a glove to every music-style !They sound good in almost any guitar you install them in ! it`s an "open sounded" humbucker that is really well EQ-balanced, with nice bite,good mid-range & a tight low-end too ..so far,They are my favourite-set today ! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
