Re: enlighten me please
Hello and welcome....Well...First you have to know what you dislike about your current pickups and then based on your style and your favorite players decide on what your new pickups will do...
Some examples would be....More note clarity,more lows,darker tone,brighter tone,more mids,more output,.....First try to find out specifically what your favorite players use and then narrow things down..
