Places that sell pickups

[hofner]

I know the places that sell pickups are:

1) Davis
2) Swee Lee
3) Music Plaza

am i missing out anything? I am using Yamaha Pac 112J. Alder body , rosewood neck. Plays country and rock. I really don't know which seymour duncan pickups to use. Currently selling away my U2 books and stuff away to raise money for pickups. :twisted:

Try the SD Pearly Gates. Very sweet.

haha joe satriani chrome boy.

and how much does it cost?

Saw an ad by someone selling seth lover pickups for $150 each. Is it good?

you can try to go to the seymour duncan site...they do provide sound samples...but you need a pair of discerning ears to tell the diferrence

www.seymourduncan.com

yupz..and if you're looking 4 high output pickups...you can give the SH-11 a try..its the Custom Custom humbucker...i have those on my PAC-112M, and it sounds sweet...yupz...cost 136.50...w/o installation..for those, u gotta ask the pros for costs/install them yourselves.

it really depends on what amps you're using, and of course your guitar too...and what type of music you play too...yupz..

a word of advice..the invader [sh-8] looks cool[brad of linkin park uses those]...but its sound is a lil' muddy. yupz...those are better off on the PRSs or LesPauls...

pearly gates sounds cool too..yeah... but its really a matter of personal choice..hee =)

Does the costs include the pickup? Usually labour for making a straight switch is about $30. In your case, they have to modify one of the S slots to fit the Humbucker. That would probably cost around $100. So if it's labour alone, changing the S/S/H to a H/S/S including rewiring would be around the $150 ball park.

BTW, who did you call that quoted you $400?

No offense but if u planning to switch all 3 pickups with that guitar, for me its better to save up abit more, sell that guitar and get a better guitar... 8)

I think $400 inlcudes the cost of 3 pickups plus installations. Thats more or less the right price to change 3 pickups..

hmm thats what other people told me...but i also bought my yamaha pac 112J for $400. I plan to use this guitar for life.

one guitar for life is possible, and yeah...do stick to it. mine's been around for almost 3 years, and i do get fond of it... but it takes a lot of discipline to care for your guitar, especially if you want it to last a lifetime.

my dad has this '56 Gibson Goldtop...the REAL THING, not the reissue, would u believe it, and he had it from the 60s, and through polishing, reconditioning and pro set ups, the guitar's still in mint condition, rarely played nowadays, and yeah... its really a matter of how much u time and money you are going to invest in your axe.

 

[hofner]

Whoah i never played a Les Paul before!!!

My gawd....that guitar is gonna worth alot. The vintage-savvy and the antique enthusiasts are gonna go head over heels for that guitar.

You gotta be real proud that your dad owns one true vintage Gibson Les Paul.
