Evan's Favorite Pickups

Just curious, but what are Evan Skopp's fav pups? Is he a strat, tele, LP or Explorer guy?

I really like the five-two also. I think its a very underrated pickup.

Thats interesting about the Duckbucker and 5/2 for a Strat. One more thing to check out now.

Evan's a vintage for the most part A2 kind of a guy. Knew I liked him for a reason!

Thanks Evan. You are a magician! You have this amazing talent to make things reappear. That's cool.

The pattern I see are pickups that need to played loudly. Crank up those Marshall Stacks. You are a rocker.

If I had a guitar with HB's, it would have Custom Custom bridge and Pearly Gates neck.

What pickups will your next strat have?

Thanks for entertaining my query

Re: Evan's Favorite Pickups

IIRC, the guitar I've seen him with most is a Jackson Sweetone Jazz'R which, by the way, is REALLY pretty.

I dig his taste in pups too. Pearly Gates is badass.

I have a really nice Fiesta Red Strat on loan from Seymour. As soon as he finishes tricking-out my Lite Ash Tele, I have to give him back the Strat. He brought it over to my house one night when we were jamming, and he just left it there. I think he feels guilty that he's had my Tele since last Fall.

Anyway, after I give the Fiesta Red back, I might pick up a Lite Ash Strat. If it's anything like the Lite Ash Tele, it'll be a winner. If I do get it, I'll probably keep the stock Five-Twos. But if I change them out, I'd probably go for the new Everything Axe set.

As for my SweeTone Jazz'R, that's just a really special guitar. I'm looking at it right now as I type.

On the other hand, there's this new hum-canceling Strat pickup that we have in the works that's pretty darn cool...

I smell a scoop!!!! And did I miss something with the "Everything Axe Set?" I'm off to search the main site.

Yeah, smells good...

The everything axe is a JBjr/Duckbucker/Lil59n IIRC? Part of the new matched sets.

Actually, these have been talked about quite a bit not too long ago. Several forum members got pre-release sets to demo. I know Lew did, and I think GearHo and Curly. Lew has a write-up on them around here somewhere.

I'm with you on the humbuckers, but I would replace the PG with an Antiquity.
