Pickup Questions

[shellshox]

Hi, am using a Squire Jagmaster but what i really like is the tone from the Epiphone Les Pauls. Am thinking of fixing those soapbars onto my Jag. Will changing my pickups help to get the same sound? Which ones should I use? THanks!

Hi there 8)

the soapbars won't fit into the Jagmaster cavity. if you think you would benefit from an Epi/ Gibson type tone, the best thing to do now is to get Gibson humbuckers which would cost you quite a bit.

the next best alternative is to get other brand replacement pickups, Dimarzio & Seymour Duncan among others, which would be >$100 ea.

PS: which amp are you using?
