Time for a change Any suggestions for my les Paul’s ?

[Mincer]

Think of the Sentient as having more, tighter bass than the Jazz, and slightly less treble, too.

[Securb]

Another vote for the WLH set. As I have said in the past they make a Les Paul sound like you expect a Les Paul to sound like. They are very versatile I have used them for everything from Jazz/Blues to Post-hardcore Metal.

Bridge: Custom 5, distortion or JB will carry classic rock into metal.

Neck: More flexible, I think Phat Cat like others suggested sounds cool. I might even look at a Dimarzio Bluesbucker.

And from left field, go with the Distortion set. Put a series/parallel on the neck pickup if you have to.

I am really wanting to try the 59 Hybrid bridge and a Sentient in the neck. I like the Sentient but I don't see it getting much love around here. Maybe I am just too new to this forum and missed its initial hype and folks have slipped back to the more traditional stuff?

Maybe I am the token metal guy?

The Sentient is a fabulous neck pickup! I've got one (paired with a Nazgul in the bridge) in a Schecter and it's everything you could ask for in a neck pup: tight and articulate without being shrill, well-balanced, can be liquid when you need it to be, and fully capable of keeping up with the highest of high-gain bridge pups.

So I got a les paul classic gold top I wanna keep in e standard and play rock and classic rock on and I got a les Paul custom zakk wylde (refinished) that has no pickups ... it gonna tune it to Eb to play 90s rock and some metal ... I thought maybe a 59 set for the classic .... JB for the bridge of the custom not sure on a neck pickup yet ... I also toyed with the idea of an emg 57 for the bridge .... I’m kind of new to pickups and I’m not 100% what to get

If it was me...
Classic gets 59 or Sat night special set.
Zakk gets a JB with a Jazz neck , or an Alnico 2 for the more 'slash' sounding neck leads.

Agreed. Love my WLH set for classic rock in my LP and do recommend it; but have also heard good things about Jazz neck and Custom bridge too.

[Smokeythebear]

I like the sound of the alnico 2 for the slash leads
so far my gold top I got a 59 neck humbucker and a slash sig bridge ... in the process of getting my hands on a JB for the custom ... and the neck is still up for grabs .... thanks for all the helps guys these are great eye opening suggestions

[eclecticsynergy]

I'm gonna say for the LP Custom - especially tuning down - you'll want something tight and fairly bright at the neck.
Jazz neck is the classic pairing for a JB but I'd take a look at the Full Shred neck, too.

The Phat Cat is a great idea as well. I love P90 neck tone.
One thing though: bear in mind that that it isn't humbucking.
For high gain playing that's a consideration.

So I ended up putting the jb in and the 59 in the les Paul custom cause I dropped the jazz and it broke

[Mincer]

It broke? How? What broke?

[Smokeythebear]

The thing the screw goes through it bent inwards and snapped off I dropped it I had no idea they were so delicate

[Mincer]

Oh, the baseplate...actually, I could see that happening if you drop it. You can just get a new one and transfer the coils to the new baseplate.

[Smokeythebear]

Where do I get them and how do you transfer

Custom/Jazz.
