I have an Alnico II Pro bridge humbucker leftover from a previous guitar and would like to upgrade the neck pickup in my Ibanez George Benson, LGB-30...an archtop guitar.
The current pickup is the Super 58 CUSTOM which is the cheaper pickup that Ibanez offers....NOT the coveted Super 58 from the '70s.
I have zero funds to buy a new pickup and the specs for the Alnico II Pro are:
Resistance
Bridge: 8.40K
Neck: 7.5K
The magnets and other specs are the same.
How much difference would this matter? Is the bridge in neck going to be muddy sounding?
Anyone with actual experience in this type of swap?
Thanks for any input!
