Members jchrist Posted September 22, 2007 Members Share Posted September 22, 2007 ...The tone I am looking for is a thick, creamy lead tone a la Gary Moore, John Sykes etc.... Then keep the stock pickup. Some of you guys spend way too much time swapping pickups, instead of focusing on other things, that might affect your tone more than a pu-swap, IMHO. Gary Moore tone: a Les Paul of some sort (really doesn't matter which one), thin strings, and an very old Marshall amp with everything on 10. Sometimes you don't even need a Les Paul - GM has a very distinct tone, even when he's playing Strats, Explorers, 335's, Charvels aso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr Wanker Posted September 22, 2007 Members Share Posted September 22, 2007 In a Les Paul Standard the best is a cool PAF clone or a DiMarzio Super Distortion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have the rest of my rig just the way I want. That's why I am focusing on my pickups now. The Gary Moore thing was just a general reference, I am not looking to get the exact tone he's getting but something in that ballpark. Just a thick hard rock tone.

Members cyberpunk409 Posted September 23, 2007 Members Share Posted September 23, 2007 Yes, maybe we can do that. I will give the stock pickup a try first though, but if I don't like them I will probably swap it. cool, see how you go and let me know how you decide by email - cyberpunk409@hotmail.com thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
