Members GAS Man Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 I opened my spreadsheet. It confirms that I own one. In the "SG" (that stands for "solid guitar" so I understand) guitar. And let me see, they sound the way Angry Tele and I have confirmed. Buy one. Consumerism is the way to inner peas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Elias Graves Posted January 23, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 Nah, I saw a set of pullout pickups on fleabay and I was thinking about getting them on the cheap but it doesn't sound like what I'm after. Thanks for the reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mad Tele Posted January 23, 2013 Members Share Posted January 23, 2013 they are not hot but they are very loud. 6.2K and 6.9K ...they do drive my tweed deluxe harder than any other pickups except my overwound p90s which are 10K. dual A5 magnets that sit on top of a magnetic plate which I think makes the field even stronger (much like a tele baseplate works) they sound like bright, more focused PAFs.
