  • Any pup recommendations for Carvin DC200?

    Trying to get my Carvin to sound like a Gibson. Billy Gill recommended Custom 5 bridge, Jazz neck.

    Like: Radiohead, old Bowie/Ronson, Pink Floyd.

    Custom Custom/ Alnico II Pro Humbucker will be fatter than the C5/jazz combo.
    Ain't nothin' but a G thang, baby.

      itll be warmer but in an all koa guitar (kinda middy) a c5 might sound great. i think one of those pups will probably work well for ya. the c5 hs more bottom but less mids so i think the c5 will be more les pauly while the cc might be more sg like. you arent gonna nail a gibson tone with a carvin but i think the guitar will sound killer with either set

        I have a similar model (the single cutaway), and depending on the wood these guitars can be very bright. I'd recommend a fatter/warmer pickup combo just like this one.
        Carvin SC90 (Jazz neck, CC bridge)
        Fender Aerodyne Telecaster (stock pups: tele bridge and p-90 neck)
        Ampeg Reverberocket combo
