Members cacheek Posted December 16, 2012 Members Share Posted December 16, 2012 I've decided to start saving for a Carvin, and I'd like to know which Carvin pickups sound the best for warm tones with a little grind. I'm not a metal guy, but I play anything from blues and classic rock to tool. I'm specifically wanting to go with Carvin pickups for now because if I can't get the guitar without swapping the pu set I'd be pretty happy.

Members humbuckerstrat Posted December 16, 2012 Members Share Posted December 16, 2012 I would recommend the C22B for the bridge position, and a C22J for the neck. I've never had a Carvin, but I've always gotten their catalogs, and those pickups seem like the best all-around pups they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PunkKitty Posted December 16, 2012 Members Share Posted December 16, 2012 I would go with a C22T and either a C22N or C22J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members vintage clubber Posted December 17, 2012 Members Share Posted December 17, 2012 I like the AP-11 single coils and will seek them out in the used market. Their humbucker pickups used to be a bargain compared to the other mainstream brands, but not so much any more as they are not much cheaper than Duncans or Dimarzios. For the price point, I would much rather have a set wound by Rose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Hurtzher Posted December 17, 2012 Members Share Posted December 17, 2012 Id start out with their stock set, the C22B and J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
