Members dinostrat Posted July 12, 2008 Members Share Posted July 12, 2008 so I couldn't PM you. everyone else can ignore this i guess...Hey Jay, I was told you could help me out. I have an Ibanez Artcore AS73, and i really want to upgrade the pickups. As of right now, they are way too muddy for me. I was wondering what pickups you could recommend me, here is what sound I am looking for. Neck: warm clear sound- i am starting to mess around with jazz, so sometimes i play some fingerstyle with this pickup. Middle: I like to use this position for chording- the problem I have now is that the humbuckers are way too boomy, so you just hear the bass. If i turn down the neck volume, it just sounds muddy in general. Bridge: Right now the pickup is really shrill. I don't use this pickup by itself very often because of this. If i could get a smooth lead sound it would be great. I was told to get seth lovers or P90s, would you have something similar that could fit my guitar? Thanks!

Members stormin1155 Posted July 12, 2008 Members Share Posted July 12, 2008 I dropped a set of GFS Dream 180s into my AS73 and couldn't be more pleased. The stock pickups were not bad, just sort of bland. The 180s give it some real sparkle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members xStonr Posted July 12, 2008 Members Share Posted July 12, 2008 I have a AS73 also. What I did to upgrade the pickups was I went with a set of Vintage Vibe humbucker sized P90's. They will give you the tone that you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
