Pickups: Tesla VS GFS

[edder]

oh i was talking Marty aka the lead guitarist that uses a JB for Megadeth during the Rust In Peace album days... hahahahaha.... old fart I am....

GFS pickups look nice...

where can i try??

they have so many strat pups that it is confusing.

recommend? i feel my strat needs that extra umph....

 

[ChanMin]

they are available on ebay only i guess.
do read back on previous posts on what other user's comments were...

many nice single coils out there. just gotta find what works for you.

maybe u can list out what guitar , u playing thru..what amp... why the current sound issnt inspiring you etc..

60th anniv strat
thru roland cube 20x
i need higher output i guess... just sounds abit too thin

tesla plasma... not too ex, previously commented on by sub somewhere.
or.. EMG sa pups.. they have a type specially for strats... costly though.

 

[keithC]

Fitted with GFS ^

 

[edder]

whats the chug factor for these pickups?

 

[gsonique]

>>honestly bro..its got a design flaw imo ....for bridge pup ..its arched blades...not good lah since i cant get it voiced correctly !! Its like its designed to be fixed ...non tweakable.
You wanna make it bright the high mid gets in the way ...you tweak the low the low mids get in the way ....haishhh :?
The neck is ok but not full sounding...something is missing and the cable seems dodgy ...be carefull it does get intermittant moved around.
Overall it has that tele twang ...pretty nice for clean or slight overdrive but with heavy drive nothing great !

I would spend a little more ....

 

[edder]

hmmm.... so just another poorly executed dual blade design.

IMHO, i'm more impressed with the GFS singles that humbuckers. But thats just me.

 

[ngjingming]

bill lawrence picups which model is more for rock?

coz from what i read they are for tt traditional strat sound....

 

[nickyseow]

So, what IS the traditional strat sound?

 

[ngjingming]

i have no idea...

they keep saying old dates like 50s or 60s so i guess its a vintage sound....

im confused.

 

[nickyseow]

lol just for discussion sake, what is the vintage sound to you?

 

[ngjingming]

thats a good question. i dun know.

how do u describe sound? i dun even know exactly what they are saying lol.

 

[nickyseow]

lol. just for kicks, may i sig a part of your statement?

 

[ngjingming]

good ahead :lol:
