I got an american standard strat on a trade a few years back but ive been a les paul guy so i never played it much. After some time i was on the fence about selling it so before i did i thought i try a few things before i let it go.
I knew i didnt like the sound of it with the SSS config but didnt want to butcher it up. I ordered a lil59 because i wanted a "les paul sound" in the bridge and thats what the lil59 description sounds. none the les before i got the pickup in i sold the guitar
I had this pickup laying around and finally decided t try it so i put it in a squier in the bridge and i was blow away the pickup sounded fantastic so much that i bought a new pickguard in the S/H pickup config with the intent on getting a 59 full size humbucker
Once i got everything all wired up and put back together i was not really happy with the sound. The lil59 sounds nothing like the full size 59, the lil59 sounds fat with a nice midrange where the full size 59 sounds very twangy and thin
So my question is, is there a full size duncan pickup that has a tone like the lil59 in a full size humbucker package?
I thought about getting a humbucker cover and just mount the lil59 in that just to hide that its a mini humbucker just for looks.
