So I have 3 Epiphones and 2 have Gibson Pickups and 1 doesn't. I put Classic 57's in my ES-335, my Epi 59 LP came with Burstbuckers 1&2, and I have a Silverburst Epi LP that has Epi pickups in it that I want to change. The guitars with Gibson pickups sound great to me, the Epi pickups in the Silverburst are garbage compared to the Gibson's. I have already put push/pull pots to split the coils in the HB's, but it is still uninspiring compared to the other 2.
So what I am thinking of doing is put Gibson Classic 57 in the neck and a Classic 57+ in the bridge of the Silverburst. Anyone have Classic 57's in a LP or dual HB guitar? How do you like it or do you prefer anything else like SlashBuckers, SD Super distortion, etc? This one is going to be used for the higher gain/Drop D/Alt Tuning songs we play including Velvet Revolver, STP, Foo Fighters, etc.
BTW, we mostly play late 60's-70's rock, 80's & 90's rock and alternative/Grunge, play through Marshall heads, DLS100H & SC20H, and use a Stomp XL for effects and amp modeling.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!
