Members timjtitus Posted August 4, 2009 Members Share Posted August 4, 2009 i think my 85 explorer is alder since it's really spanky and bright with a jb in the bridge. anything similar to the jb but less bright and spanky that would sound good?

Members dughaze Posted August 4, 2009 Members Share Posted August 4, 2009 You could lower the pot value to 250K just like you would for an alder Strat. A Tonezone would really darken and thicken things up in a bright guitar. Are you sure it's alder? I'd send a note to Gibson and ask them if it is according to the serial number.

Members DiscoJason Posted August 4, 2009 Members Share Posted August 4, 2009 I really like the Dimarzio Super 3 in Alder. It's sounds vaguely similiar to a JB, but with thicker mids and less abrasive highs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
