- Duncan Pups I Have Experience With...
- About a year ago I bought a very lightly used Ibanez Artcore AFS-75-T-TBL that the previous owner had fitted with Duncan Humbuckers.When I hit the first chord in the music store,the guitar sold itself,the Duncan pups made it sound like no other Ibanex that I'd ever heard,the sound was more like a PAF equipped big body Gibson jazz box than a thin profile semi hollow body like an Artcore. I play mine through a Vox AC-15 mostly as that amp really helps bring out the best possible tones in it,however it also sounds incredible through my Blues Jr.I recently bought a Fender Vintage Hot Rod '52 Tele with a Duncan mini Humbucker in the neck position and she sounds just out of this world,so much so that I'm seriously considering getting a Duncan single coil bridge pup for the guitar too.
