Pickups recommendation

[phoenix]

Hi, am thinking of changing pickups on my squire to get a more "gibson/epiphone LP tone". I realised that they have a bass-ier sound. Considering that, which pickups would be good? Thanks!

You want a fatter, darker tone?

What is your pickup config? HSS?

Assuming you're having a SSS configuration.

Get a set of Duncans from Davis.

They have a 3 pickup set which is Lil59 neck, Dunno what model single middle and a JB Jr Bridge.

Not exactly Gibson but enough CHUGGA with minimal modification.

Yep, right now its 2 humbuckers, much like the jaguar setup.

The Lp tone comes from wood type and constuction... not just the pups !!

You can do a test....get Lp pups into your Squire ....then come and tell us all abt it


I wasted lotsa money trying to do what you are now dreamin abt .... sorry bro !!

Btw ED's suggestion is perty nice for humbucker tone ...fat and ugly :lol:

+1 to gsonique...

You can fake the vibe though.
Getting hotter wound humbuckers, and those that are fat sounding. E.g. HAS Sound Hellion.

But most of the time... a fake remains a fake and can't go beyond that.

OK, since Gsonique's done it before I guess its out of the question then.....haha....
