  • GFS suggestions?

    ok so im gonna finally rebuild a guitar i had forever ago (a ****ty p.o.s. first act) i left it at a friends house over a year ago to be painted. between him adulting with a job, wife, mortgage, and kids, and me forgetting it existed the guitar slowly has gotten painted. now i need to pick a pickup. its a double cut jr knock off lookin thing with one pickup in bridge and i wanna tune it to C-standard. options im looking into are GFS crunchy pat, GFS crunchy rails, or GFS power rails.

    maple neck, rosewood fretboard, and either mahogany or bass wood body. i dont remember.

    TL;DR need a cheapish pickup which one for c-standard?

    The only GFS pickup I am familiar with is the VEH, their EVH clone. The thing was only $35 but at any price, it is a damn good sounding pickup. One of my coworkers is a black metal, death metal guy. He installed the GFS power rails. I haven't heard the guitar but he is thrilled with the result.

      I got a set of pickups from Yibuy
      Spec'd the same as a JB/JAZZ set
      But with a ceramic magnet

      It was $12 for both pickups


      Also got a set of Donlis pickups from Aliexpress
      They were $35
      Same as above but with Alnico V magnets

      My buddy got the cheapest single coil sized dual rail he could find on Ebay
      It howls like a monkey.

      I know it's a bit off topic but there it is

      Ascension has a Carvin MSD22 (I think that's it)
      Its Carvin version of a a super distortion

      He's got them over in the trading post right now
      Hit him up
      One of those will probably scratch that itch

        I used to have a GFS Redactive some time ago. It was brilliant. Pretty much as good as EMG's.

        Sorry if it's not any of the pickups you mentioned, but it's my only experience with GFS pickups.
