Hello everyone-
First post.
I'm upgrading my Gibson Epiphone EM-1 Rebel. Kind of a rarity from the early '90s based on Gibson's MIII.
Anyway, it's a H-S-H and I'm pretty sure I know what pups I'm getting. I've already gotten the JB gold cover for my bridge and I'm probably putting the Alnico II Pro gold cover in the neck. I was thinking about the "hot rails" in the middle position. I'm using this axe for metal and harder music mostly. (I have a hollow-body for my jazzy/clean stuff)
Would any of the Li'l pups be a better fit?
Also, 2 technical/n00b questions:
1) Some of the single coil-sized humbuckers (ie, hot rails) have a triangular shaped base which wouldn't fit in my guitar and some of them look like they would fit in perfectly. What's the deal with that? Do you have to buy specific to your pup opening?
2) Can you use a "bridge" pup in the middle position?
Thanks for your help everyone!
