Re: Bought a used Epiphone Les Paul, now I need SD pups
I have Seths in my Carvin CS, which is like an LP with a 25" scale. 4 conductors but only have them split. Great pickups for classic rock and blues.
I've done the Jimmy Page wiring a couple of times, but about all I ever used was the split and the phase reverse.
Still, it's pretty cool to have all the options at your fingertips.
You can go with hotter pickups to drive your pre-amp, but I haven't been able to find the cleans and edge of break-up tones I like with them.
So, for me a least, low output pickups work best. I start with a great clean tone and then build on that.
