Tried a Duncan '78 today...

Re: Tried a Duncan '78 today...

After hearing this, I may pickup a '78. While I would be putting it in a strat with 500K pots, it's a bit darker than most MIA strats I have played. Not sure why But I think it would go great with my Jet City JCA100H. This amp is a bit dark and has a good amount of compression to it. I currently have a Pearly Gates in the bridge of my strat, but I've found it's a bit over powering in the low mids and not quite clear enough on the low strings. Also, a bit more juice in the output would be right up my ally.

That's what I think based on my experience with the 78'. Maybe the harsh overtones I heard will turn out to be nice crunchy highs in your rig.

I'm using a 78 neck pickup and it sounds great. It's never leaving my guitar.

I'd like to get one and put an A2 in it. All the things people complain about it, could be fixed with the correct mag.

Doesn't the '78 come with an degaussed A2 in it?

Nope, full power.

I am using the '78 in the bridge with a UOA5 magnet and a '59b in the neck to balance it out

Question how would the Duncan 78 sound in a Gibson Les Paul with a Floyd rose in your opinions

What kinda music? What kinda amp? I can't believe it would sound bad...but it might not be right for really heavy stuff.

It would sound just like a '78. The Floyd would thin out the LP and the '78 would be thin and bright like it is. I put a '78 in my SG with a regular TOM and it was still like a superstrat sound.
