Members Saturday Posted April 1, 2009 Members Share Posted April 1, 2009 bought an SG, that has a schaller humbucker in the bridge position. it's very good for distortion but not so good for clean. any suggestions for a swap? i prefer clean and some high-end. i use to play a tele so i prefer something that sounds a bit like that, but still a humbucker ( not a p-90 or a phat cat or something ). i heard good things about the seymour duncan pearly gates. are those good for clean?

Members lukeswall Posted April 1, 2009 Members Share Posted April 1, 2009 get a burstbucker pro. not really hot and an extended high-end. sounds really crispy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EllenGtrGrl Posted April 1, 2009 Members Share Posted April 1, 2009 TV Jones Classics, Supertrons, or Magnatrons might do the trick for you. But they are kind of pricey (typically about $135 a piece). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members schoolie1 Posted April 1, 2009 Members Share Posted April 1, 2009 I like the Duncan Jazz SH-2 pickups. They sound great in bridge and neck positions and have super definition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sk8centilli Posted April 1, 2009 Members Share Posted April 1, 2009 get a burstbucker pro. not really hot and an extended high-end. sounds really crispy. I've got BurstBucker Pros in my Les Paul and love them: they do 60's - 70's fuzz perfect, distortion great and clean good; but if you want real clean, I would recommend something with Alnico II magnets.

Members Wulver Posted April 1, 2009 Members Share Posted April 1, 2009 anything that's kinda vintage voiced should do fine. think maybe 8k output or lower. can't name brands or anything, but check GFS, see what stands out to you. Heck, I think GFS has a lipstick tube humbucker you might have interest in.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faber Posted April 1, 2009 Members Share Posted April 1, 2009 I like the cleans out of the Gibson Classic 57s in the SGs I've tried with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members maltomario Posted April 2, 2009 Members Share Posted April 2, 2009 i just made this vid a few days ago demoing the clean tones of a Charvel. the bridge is a dimarzio tone zone, neck is dimarzio evolution [YOUTUBE]tyU_KguOpAM[/YOUTUBE] i think the cleans are good on this set. also like someone mentioned, the SD Jazz neck pup is good for cleans..

Members Special J Posted April 2, 2009 Members Share Posted April 2, 2009 Bartollinis. I have a set in a semi-hollow and they're absolutely great for clean blues or jazz stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Help!I'maRock! Posted April 2, 2009 Members Share Posted April 2, 2009 i think the cleans are good on this set. also like someone mentioned, the SD Jazz neck pup is good for cleans.. damn. now i'm gonna have to go try one through a deluxe reverb. if it can stay clean, i may put those pups into my Ibanez.

Members jacobarber Posted April 2, 2009 Members Share Posted April 2, 2009 dimarzio Humbucker from Hell. it's not a hot wound pickup at all, but has volume and the clarity of an acoustic. it'll open up the bridge position to some wicked high end. i enjoy having one in the neck position of a basswood guitar. they're said to seriously open up a mahogony body guitar though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
