There are mixed opinions and methods online, so I wanted to check with the knowledgable Fractal community on this one.
I’ve got an ‘89 Les Paul Custom with the stock Bill Lawrence “The Original” circuit board pickups. I’m not a fan of their tone and have some Thornbuckers on the way to try. I measured the bridge pickup and it’s reading at 13.2k. I tend to like bridge pickups in the 8.2-9.5k range and wondered if it was possible to lower the pickup’s output?
Some resources say you can do it with resistors and others say you literally have to take winds off of the pickup.
Has anyone tried to do this? Is it even worth the effort?
