backinit Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 I have an opportunity to get a red/silver at a very good price and I think it might be fine for what I'm after (classic to heavy rock - mid to heavy gain) however I'm not ably to find out much info. Good pick up?
princeofdarkness56 Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Yup, real good pups. I have a love hate with single coils. Especially the bridge pup. The sensors eliminate the hate and a red in the bridge is great for the more aggressive tones. Don't know why Fender stopped installing them. They make enough models that you would think they could keep one with lace sensors.
backinit Posted February 12, 2010 Author Posted February 12, 2010 Going in a Les Paul. Any additional comments?
princeofdarkness56 Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Never seen that before. Only in Strats. I have no clue how they would sound but it may look odd on a LP.
ZR Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 I've had the silver and reds b4 but only in singles. The combo should rock. I thought the red by itself was good. I always wanted to try a red-red. I believe the LS humbuckers can be taken apart and other colors substituted.
gtone Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 I had a Blue in the neck of my 82 Tele - great pup!
Caddie Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 I own a Strat Plus w/3 gold Lace sensors. Sounds killer thru any amp. My fav setup is that guitar thru my Matchless Clubman. Studio tech said it was the cleanest, clearest, warmest sound he'd heard in a long time. Of course ya gotta take that with a grain of salt. He has tinnitus really,really bad & sniffs paint fumes at his daytime job. caddie
bubs_42 Posted February 21, 2010 Posted February 21, 2010 I love the blue. Red is Hot and the Silver will definetly get you that pure strat tone. Let us know how this turns out. This pup really jump out at me for using it in a Prototype or a Phantom. Really could add to the tonal range.
jaberwock Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 I have a gold /gold on an old Jeff Beck strat which is very versatile, some folks say they sound sterile, and where designed for eighties style rack systems, but I'm not one of them.
