    Lower output pickups + heavier music? Samples?

    I still can’t put this guitar down. Any recommendations for a neck pickup? From sound samples the PG neck seems really boomy. I was thinking a 59 maybe?

    Lower output pickups + heavier music? Samples?

    So I got the Pearly Gates in while I was at work. I got home, threw her in really quick and I just gotta say wow. I was really hesitant to order this pickup because a lot of people use them in LPs, I figured the longer scale and trem would make it too bright... but I can see why so many people...

    Lower output pickups + heavier music? Samples?

    It’s a nice pickup for sure, but hotter than I want for this guitar. I just placed an order for a PG after listening to a few demos on YouTube. Well see how it works out when it shows up, if not I’ll return to SD and try the AII or 59. I’ll keep the SSH+ for another guitar. I really like the...

    I’m gonna give it a good workout later on this evening after the kid goes to sleep and see how I feel about it. Too much stuff that needs to be done around the house to really “get to know it” today

    Lower output pickups + heavier music? Samples?

    Definitely was the pickup. Ended up finding a Suhr SSH+ locally for a good price, so snagged it. Guitar sounds better. It’s a little higher output than I wanted but the blanket is gone. I may still try a JB/AII to lower the output some and throw this in another guitar. Glad to know it wasn’t a...

    I may give this a shot. Used JBs and AIIs are easy to find. Might throw the 59 in there too

    Lower output pickups + heavier music? Samples?

    All my others are 25.5, and no high end blanket on those. When I say blanket, it’s not excessively pronounced... it’s subtle. Playing it I can tell it’s there but it isn’t like the tone knob is rolled back or anything. With that said, the tone knob is working as it should. The only weird thing...

    Lower output pickups + heavier music? Samples?

    Already considered the strings, but they sound pretty lively unplugged and look fresh so I don’t think it’s the root of the problem. I’ll check the controls but it seems stock so I don’t think it’ll be an issue but who knows

    Lower output pickups + heavier music? Samples?

    Thank you. I’ll give that a shot but I’m pretty sure this things gonna end up with new pickups by the end of the coming week. For a $500(used) guitar this thing is amazing. After a setup this thing is right there with my EBMM Majesty as far as action goes. Much different feel but it’s amazing...

    Lower output pickups + heavier music? Samples?

    After having the guitar for a bit, my complaint is that the highs/high mids sound like there’s a blanket on them which causes all of it to smear. It’s a base tone issue, not an eq issue because it does it regardless of amp model. Eq removes some of the blanket effect but it doesn’t alleviate...

    Lower output pickups + heavier music? Samples?

    Mahogany, maple cap, rosewood board, vintage style trem. What I’m going for is something with clarity, tight, something that wouldn’t sound out of place playing rock-ish type stuff as well as being able to play metal if I wanted to within reason... I don’t expect to be able to tune down to...

    Lower output pickups + heavier music? Samples?

    Hey guys, So I just recently purchased a PRS SE CU24, looking for some new pickups. I have a couple shredder machines(a Japanese 570 with Evo/AN and a EBMM majesty with sonic ecstasys), so I’m looking for more of an all around guitar with this one. The times I’ve played lower output pickups I...
