Hey guys: Can someone educate me on the differences in these pickups. I know they are both ceramic. I put a Custom in my SG. Sounds good, but a little thin and a little trebly. Would the Distortion sound similar but thicker? That's kind of what I am looking for...

Which one would be your choice for bridge of SG, and why ? I am pairing it with a PG neck which sounds great in this guitar. Thanks!

So here is the deal: I have a really cool 3 pickup 1987 SG Custom (ebony fretboard). Just put a PG in the neck, a CC in the middle and a Custom in the bridge. Standard 3 p/u wiring..no spliting, nothing fancy. The PG sings like a bird. Really nice overdriven blues tones in the SG, very cool. The...

I have been on a real pickup frenzy here lately and have educated myself well thanks to this forum, at least on Duncan pickups. I want to know what magnet types some of my Gibson humbuckers have so I can draw some comparisons with Duncans. I have an ES-335 with '57 classics. What magnet type are...

So I have a three pickup SG Custom. Going with a PG neck and a PG bridge in the middle (middle toggle position is bridge and middle pickup). Considering the CC for bridge but saw Lew's recent thread where he loves the PGn and Custom bridge combo. He mentioned that sometimes he thinks the CC does...

Getting ready to put a CC in the bridge of my SG. Noticed on the SD website the EQ specs are bass 3, mid 7 and treble 7. That sure is a low bass number. This is not a thin sounding pup is it? It seems to be a favorite on this forum so I would like to try it paired with a PG neck. Is that bass...

I have a three pickup SG Custom. Was thinking of going with a PG neck and CC bridge, but what would you put in the middle?

Would love recommendations on bridge pick up to pair up with a Pearly Gates neck in Les Paul. Would like a pickup that sounds really good split for clean tones and also can get nice and gritty when overdriven. Styles include everything from classic rock to blues to contemporary Christian. Thanks

How do ya like it? I Have JB in my Les Paul and really like it. Would like Alnico 2 neck. PG or A2pro...Just can't decide!

How do ya like it?

Just put a JB in the bridge of my '88 Les Paul Standard. I am getting some really nice big sounds from it when overdriven. I am liking the JB a lot. My dilemma is this: I would like to pair it with an Alnico 2 pickup in the neck. Can't decide on whether to go with the A2Pro or the PG neck. The...

Input with regard to these choices would be greatly appreciated.

Which one would you choose? Looking for input on differences in tone of these two neck pickups. Styles include blues, rock and others.

Hello all: Can some of you offer some input on basic tone and charecteristic differences between '59 and Pearly Gates neck pickups, and the JB, Custom and Distortion bridge pickups. I am pretty familiar with the '59, the JB and the Duncan Distortion but I have no experience with the PG neck or...

Hello there: I have a question with regard to the classic cover version of Duncans' humbuckers. These are the ones with the nickel covers pre-installed at the factory. I just recently bought new jazz neck and JB pickups with these covers. Before I purchased them I had the opportunity to look at...
