Btw i was thinking of getting the alnico pro 2..and the other one..not yet decided. PLS GIVE COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS.Enlightened me!!!

actually, there ARE alnicoII humbuckers, seymour duncan just have them in single coil and humbucker, maybe try asking the shopkeeper or something?

the diff between the neck and bridge pickup is something like... the bridge is sharper and a little more "ear splitting" so to speak, the neck is more mellow.

i *think* slash uses double alnicoII humbuckers, maybe do a google search on him? ^^ hope i was of some help

he uses a fisherman power bridge II at the other pickup...

for me i would like to get the best of both worlds on my les paul. Sd super alnico pro II on neck, and zakk wylde's emg pickups on the bridge

no, actually Slash has 3 pickups in his Les Paul

Neck - Alnico Pro II neck model
Bridge - Alnico Pro II bridge model
and the Fishman Powerbridge attached to the tone-o-matic

thanks man, care to tell me whats tonomotic?

 

[mero]

oops, i meant tune-o-matic. haha embarrassing typo

 

[jeremyrozario]

tune-o-matic is the name given to the bridge of a les paul or SG styled guitar, and slash's signature gibson has a piezo pickup in the bridge, which simulates the sound of an acoustic

 

[spikes]

how'd you install a piezo pickup?

 

[mero]

usually people just buy a replacement bridge fitted with piezo pickups under the bridge saddles

 

[Fruitwine]

essentially, u gotta like the sound. if u love it, screw what everyone else says, its ur guitar, u are playing it, u must enjoy urself anyhow, SD pickups cost aroun 120 each i think, so ur alnico and sd distortion will prolly cost around 240?

 

[Rockstars-Inc]

yeah.i agree.anw do let me know about the details of the shipping?thanks alot btw

 

[pooo]

Do you plan to buy online?

Cos you could get them locally at Davis or www.gain10music.com

oh okay.cause i was thinking which ever alternative is cheaper.i would op for that then.Hey is the price for alnico pro 2 humbuckers same as single coils??
