PUPs for Les Paul Guitars

[Mr_Bear]

Which humbucker pups are suitable for les paul type guitars?

Any recommendations? and what are the prices like for these PUPs...

 

[subversion]

gee... it's like asking: which shoe laces are suitable for my NIKE? not to be personal or sarcastic (apologies if i did), but you need to be more objective:

*which guitar will these be in?
*what kinda tone are you after?
*which price bracket are you looking at?

Based on your experience....which one are good that can provide versatily in terms of sound, tone, sensitivity etc...etc ...

 

[zakk]

There is various Pickups...

So if U like Powerfull sound...Use EMG ZW Set.
for original Les Paul sound...Gibson Burstbucker 1/2/3
for Vintage sound...Gibson 57 Classic
more bright and clean sound...Suhr Pups
U like Slash...Duncan Paf...or Alnico Pro...

Very difficult to decide to change Pups...

quote Mr_Bear: im looking for PUPs suitable for LES PAUL Guitars...

we absolutely know what it's for, the reason nobody is recommending you this:

if it's a humbucker, it works. even if it's not, as long as it fits into the cavity, it'll work...

don't get me wrong, i'm trying to help others help you out- why recommend you something super high output for instance, when you really wish for something Slash-esque?

 

[imsuchajoker]

hm mr bear what exactly do you want to sound like.

DETAILS!

ditto: DETAILS would really help (us help you). :rock:

 

[Marksman]

Yeah tell us.

I do have a few ideas though...

Before I suggest though, we want to know what kind of sound your looking for.

How much are the Gibson Burstbucker 1/2/3 ? Where can I get it?

 

[subversion]

Gibson products @ swee lee- do give them a call to check stock/ model availability.

 

[IwanaGuitar]

how bout the famous classic recomendation??

Seymour Duncan



Jazz at neck

Jb at bridge

 

[BlackKunji]

How much will the Gibson Brustbucker cost? what is the price range?

 

[subversion]

hmm... that JB/ Jazz combo:

1. isn't for everyone. it's more of a hit/ miss- you either like it or don't (especially the JB's midrange peculiarity)

2. it's not exclusive to LPs, have it in my Ibanez RGA

Burstbucker Pros cost $490 or so at Sweelee for a set. Moving on, good combinations for an LP include:

1)59n/59b
2)59n/Customb
3)PearlyGatesn/Custom5b
4)Seth Lovers set

Tone is really subjective, so I would recommend that you read up on the abovementioned pickups, the Seymour Duncan forum is a really good place. HC reviews would do as well.

 

[HarrisonYeo]

davis also have gibson's hum pickups ,

 

[Weiht]

If u dont mind the wait, try bill lawrence l500. Otherwise, a sd jb at the bridge is v nice choice too. The sd 59s r way to muddy for me.
