I've searched on the threads there have been about this, but would appreciate any help from those who have done this mod.
I'm thinking of putting the 498T and 490R from my Les Paul Standard into a Les Paul Studio Lite I have and doing the Jimmy Page wiring. The Studio Lite has a much thinner acoustic tone than my Standard. so more mid rangey sounding pickups should beef it up a bit and help with the sound on the thinner switching options with the Page wiring e.g. coil tapping.
Has anyone does this mod with these pickups? How did it sound?
Any other recommendations for pickups?
I have read that 'vintage' sounding pickups e.g. Seth Lovers sound too thin when coil tapped.
I have the schematic from Gibson and was going to use that but noticed from a previous thread that guitarelectronics has 3 possible configurations.
Has anyone used these? How do they sound? Guitarelectronics says their wiring options are not the same as the Gibson one but produce the same sounds - is this right?
All help appreciated
