My main squeeze is a 2012 Gibson Les Paul Standard 60's. I love Alnico II pickups, especially humbuckers (though single coil Alnico II's sound great as well), and for a good while now I have been playing a Pearly Gates set in my LP. I couldn't be happier with them, and it's not that they are letting me down or anything, but it's just time to try something new, and I am trying to figure out which direction to go. I am thinking about trying out an Alnico V set. Actually, I'm just about certain that's what I'm going to try next. That being said, I am hoping to get some suggestions as to what some great options would be. If you happen to use Alnico V pickups, and you would recommend them, I'd appreciate it if any such person(s) would take a second to let me know what set it is that they like, and a short bit about why, and what type of music do you mostly play. I will be putting them in my LP as I said, and I play a little bit of everything, but mostly classic rock, alternative, a bit of metal, and some blues.
Just for good measure... The main amp I use most as of now is my Peavey Invective 120 into the matching Invective 212 cab, but I plug into my Marshall DSL40CR (run through either my Invective 212 cab, or my Mesa Recto 212) and my Fender SuperSonic 60 still from time to time. I am currently working on a pedalboard build that I intend to use as an option to open up the possibilities for covering even more ground with my Invective.
Thanks for checking out the post, and thanks in advance for any replies/suggestions
