    Trying to decide on my first set of Duncans

    I'm sure this place is inundated with threads like this; sorry to make my first thread here so unoriginal, but I'm coming up on needing to order a new set of pickups, and I'd appreciate input from the masters here! I've got an Epi LP Custom; it's wiring is getting dodgy, and one pickup is on...
