[QUOTE="guitarcomet, post: 56134, member: 1838"] [color=darkred]"More than one way to skin a cat" ... my favorite saying.[/color][b] Just some tidbits: I tried out a threesome of Kent Armstrong Lipstick (retro style) pickups back in the late 90s. Man, they sucked! Another waste of money was the JB. Jr and/or Lil' Screamin' demon. I have yet to hear a single coil sized humbucker that sounded like the real thing. I don't think it's physically possible. Not bad pickups, just not real humbux. My favorite Gibson pickups are older P-90s. They have a spank that is pleasant and very listenable. They cover a lot of ground, too. My favorite Gibson pickups for recording are the mini humbuckers (on the Deluxe models). Though they don't cut the mustard on stage, they sound great for recording esp. if playing Country music and clean stuff. [b]Gibson stock humbuckers are like an industry standard to me. If your pickups are NOT at [i]least[/i] as good as stock Gibson pickups...Get Off The Stage! :lol: [/b][/b] [/QUOTE]
