After having a 59/JB combo in my Lester for a while, I changed the JB to a PG and loved it. The only problem was that it made the 59 sound kind of flat and generic, a serviceable sound, but with no real mojo. Two days ago I changed the 59's mag to an Alnico II I had lying around, and boy, did it make a difference! The highs were clearer, the lows didn't boom like they used too, and I got a nice midrange snarl when overdriven. Call me crazy, but I even got to hear some air and "wood" when playing clean.
I think it's great!
Just one question, though, What is the closest to this in a production version? Is it the PGn, Seth, Alnico II Pro, or Antiquity?
In my experience, the Seth chimes more, growls less, and the Alnico II Pro is much, much more polite. I have not tried the PGn or the Antiquity.
