Members Rey Gato Posted December 13, 2012 Members Share Posted December 13, 2012 Sorry mang, but holy hell those pickups are ugly. I prefer the look of traditional uncovered hums, preferably zebra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please get out of my head. Although there will never be a pickguard . First thing I did was yank it. Originally Posted by Rey Gato Sorry mang, but holy hell those pickups are ugly.

I've got L500xl's in three of my guitars, but I want to try something different one of these days. How do they compare to the l500 (if you've ever tried one)?

I have a L90 in the bridge of one of my strats. I absolutely love it. I've never owned a L500. But from all the clips I've heard, the L90 has more raunch to it. It's flat and honest EQ-wise and it will show you exactly what your guitar sounds like. It's been described as having a certain "sweetness" to it compared to the L500. I totally agree.I'm thinking of getting a L500L and a L90(4H). Then I'll pull the L90 out of my strat and put the L500 in it. Using both L90s' for the LP.Black pups and gold trim rings?I thought I was going to hate the gold hardware, but I love it. It makes me feel all guido-ee.

Members fretless Posted December 13, 2012 Members Share Posted December 13, 2012 some gold top hats or "reflectors" would balance that out too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fretless Posted December 13, 2012 Members Share Posted December 13, 2012 you could remove the covers from the pups too, probably to black bobbins in there and they will sound totally different . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya'll are putting asthetics over tone. The stock pups sound decent. But they aren't even in the same area code as the L90. It's THE best humbucker ever.Thanks for the input though.
