Pup suggestions for a MichaelKelly guitar?

Re: Pup suggestions for a MichaelKelly guitar?

I would say that ALL those are good choices for a PAF vibe (which is what you really want). The Alnico II pros are very smooth and have a beautiful bell like top end. The Seth Lovers are just as smooth but not quite as bright (this is not the normal kind of bright...the A2Pro's just have a little extra sparkle that the Seth do not have). THe PG's are a killer PAF type pups with a tad extra under the hood! The PG neck is my favorite neck pickup, and the bridge is no slouch either! The PG's are very much a vintage PAF type pickup but they have a spike in the upper mids that really make them cut with out being overly bright. The 59's are the perfect all around/catch all pickup, I really feel that you can use a 59 in almost every application there is for a humbucking pickup! I favor Alnico II magnets more but the 59's really are great pickups. I hope this helped a bit...good luck

I recently just sold one of my guitars to get this beauty. I purchased a Michael Kelly Patriot Quit top (LP copy). This thing is extremely well made: tone pros bridge, good pots, pups are really good for factory pups, etc... I absolutely love the way this thing handles and even looks for that matter, great quilt. The only thing I want to change is the pups. They aren't bad by no means but I want some duncans. I want to get that vintage LP sound that Mick Ralphs got with Bad Company.

I came up with a few possible sets, would love to hear thoughts on them as well as other suggestions....
1. Seth Lovers
2. PG's
3. AII Pros
4. 59 ( possible to much bass?)
