Re: 59 pickup magnet change
Such a waste!!
I wish people would edit their videos and and least label what pickup is being played when!
Such a waste!!

Re: 59 pickup magnet change
I would try the A3 first. I like this very much in the neck of a 59, or any pickup that needs a little less bass and a little more high end clarity.
It's a nice middle of the road selection between A5 and A2. My ear can perieve the A2 as muddy in some guitars, in others just fine, but I tend to like a bit more 'sparkle'. I've recently made that same change in another brand of bucker from A2 to A3 and it opened up the tone nicely.
I also like the A3 59 I use in the neck of my Ron Wood ESP. Matched with a tele lil59 bridge it's a great setup.
Good luck!
Hi,
Based on feedback in the forum I’ve decided to try changing magnets in my heritage h150 Les Paul.
I’m more after a vintage tone with less bass. More into blues than rock. I actually don’t mind the bridge, quite nice. Neck has too much bass for me.
I have an a2 and a3 in order which should I first place in each position?
Thinking of leaving the 5 in the bridge

So what evidence do you have that they're the same since their dcr is different and they sound completely differently.

Why?
You're the one who made the silly comparison.
And actually, NO, an A2 59 is not close in any way to a PG.

Re: 59 pickup magnet change
I'm really interesting in see what your argument is based on.
Well...?
So, you're saying that the '59 and the PG are the same p'up, even though they don't share amount of turns, or even the baseplate, for that matter?
