  • Favorite Replacement Pickups

    What are the most favored replacement pickups for a SL-2H?
    EMG's?
    Evolutions?
    Holy Grails?
    I'm thinking about some new ones- what do you recommend?? [img]/images/graemlins/popcorn.gif[/img]

    Re: Favorite Replacement Pickups

    <font color="yellow">I'm a big fan of the Duncan Custom and the 59's myself.

    A lot of people also like the Duncan Distortion and Jazz also.

    I don't know much about DiMarzio's as they've never "done" it for me [img]/images/graemlins/refuse.gif[/img] </font>

            Personally, I like EMGs but it all depends why you want to change the pickups that are already in the guitar?
            Popular is not the same as good
            Rare is not the same as valuable
            Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get

                depends on the guitar but Duncan JB, Distortion, Custom Custom, Custom 5, Screamin Demon in bridge positions and Jazz and 59 in the neck position.

                For DiMarzios I like the Super Distorion and PAF combo/

                  i use either an SD custom/custom or a dimarzio PAF pro in the bridge (depends on the livliness of the guitar).

                  for neck humbuckers i like to use SD '59 or dimarzio HFH.
                  GEAR:

                  some guitars...WITH STRINGS!!!! most of them have those sticks like on guitar hero....AWESOME!!!!

                  some amps...they have some glowing bottle like things in them...i think my amps do that modelling thing....COOL, huh?!?!?!

                  and finally....

                  i have those little plastic "chips" used to hit the strings...WHOA!!!!

                    I like J90's the best. J90C's and Duncan Customs are great too.

                      For all things metal and shred: Distortion/Distortion

                      For everything else: Distortion/59

                        i'm actually about to do my first pup replacement ever. i own a washburn dime model thats got washburn pups in it, and i just ordered a bill lawrence l500xl for da bridge. i can't wait to hear the end result. i've also been tinkering with the idea of possibly swapping out the emg hz's in my import jacksons with emg 81's n 85's. anyone else do this?

                          Those Gibson Iommi & Angus Young pups that I just sent to Newc absolutely rip, I wish I'd found the right guitar for them. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

                            On my main players I was replacing everything with EMG's 81/85...now I'm starting to replace the EMG's with APC Persuader Lead Customs [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
