I was looking at the tone chart and I noticed that almost every single humbucker on there has a very high number in the treble section. I mean heck, the lowest is a four. Most are eights and nines . . . it kinda sucks that my guitar/amp setup is so bright then. Maybe I should look else where for...

Like most here, I've been searching for the "perfect" pickup for what seems like ages. I went through the whole Custom line and none of them were quite what I'm looking for. I've stuck with the CC because it was the closest. My Les Paul is unusually bright so the A2 mag tames that a bit...

Hey all. I've currently got in my Les Paul Studio a CustomCustom in the bridge and a '59 in neck. I think I want to replace both. The 59 is a pretty rockin' pickup, but I think I need something with less bass. As for the CC, I really dig the smooth top end, but its just all mids. Its narrow. Not...

I finally did it. I bought an A2 magnet a made my C-5 into a CC. Before I did that though, I recorded a few clips (sorry I can't post them . . . and besides, I don't want you guys laughing at my non-skill). I recorded the C-5, then I put the ceramic magnet back in and recorded the same thing...

Has anyone ever tried putting an A2 in a '59n? How did it sound? Anyone?

While playing my Les Paul today, I noticed something very strange when using both pickups (the middle position). When both volumes were all the way up, it was very thin sounding, but if I turned the volume down on the neck pickup at all, it all of a sudden got a lot fatter and louder (with the...

I've got a Les Paul Studio that has a Custom-5 (originally a custom) in the bridge and a '59n in the neck. My amp is a Marshall TSL100 (might be getting a new amp soon, but pickup changes are much cheaper; and besides its still a pretty damn good amp). For the most part, I'm actually rather...

I'm just wondering what's the general consensus on this pickup. Would you consider it a high-output pickup? How are the lows, mids, and highs? I've got a C-5 in my LP, so how would this compare to it? Thanks.

Currently I've got a Custom 5 in the bridge and a '59n in the neck; and the longer I have them, the more I think I need something different in both positions. The C-5 seems a bit too thin and bright for my tastes; the bass seems to be just about right, but there's too much treble and not enough...
