What Duncan pickups are recomended for a Wolfgang. I originally was thinking of a jb/jazz set but was told w/the basswood body it might sound a little bright. Now I'm leaning towards a set of 59s. Anybody that could give me your recommendations would be appreciated. thx

Re: Pickups for a Wolfgang
I highly recommend the Custom Custom. Heavy mids and just the right amount of bite. The best lead guitar pickup I've ever heard.

Re: Pickups for a Wolfgang
Custom, Custom would be good also if you dont want to stick strickly with Duncans, The DiMarzio Air Norton neck/ and Air Zone Bridge are what I have in mind and I love them. Not bright, good midrange bite, and good bottom end. The Air Bucker Technology lets the strings vibrate longer which helps with sustain. The Air Zone is discribed by a Duncan tech as a reversed eq'd JB, The Air Norton just sounds great. I tried a 59 in the neck with a JB and C5 and it just wasnt right to my ears. This is the first set of Dimarzio humbuckers that I really like.
Just another option for you to consider.

Re: Pickups for a Wolfgang
I'm a big fan of the Blues Trembucker bridge/Alnico II Pro neck in that guitar. I've tried a lot of pickups in the Wolfgang, and I've found that warmer sounding pickups work best. I've never tried a '59 in mine, at least not with the stock magnet, so I'm not sure if that would be too bright or not.

Re: Pickups for a Wolfgang
I can't help but wonder if my Wolgang Special is more bassey sounding than others. I tried the Air Norton in the neck position but pulled it out because it was so bassey it was droney. I now have an Air Classic in the neck postion and while its better it still seems to have a bit of drone. Based on my experience with MY guitar I would say the Wolfgang is anything but bright sounding. In fact, I don't think the guitar is bright sounding at all, but rather the piercing quality of the stock pickups give it the illusion of being a bright sounding guitar.
