Can SH1 Neck and SH11 match ?

Re: Can SH1 Neck and SH11 match ?

I looked at this a couple years ago, and over several months there were a dozen firsthand complaints from members about '59N's being bassy, all in LP's.

And then 9000 of your 19000 posts were you repeating these dozen posts until the world believed it to be true. A lot of guys buy 59's and a very very small proportion end up on eBay. Hmmmm......wonder where all the rest are? In the necks of a Les Paul somewhere maybe?

The OP wants his LP sound warm, round, and fat. For that purpose, I say yes to SH-11 and suggest PG that pairs better eq wise to SH-11 than SH-1 and retains vintage character instead of Jazz or A2Pro.

Seconded. Having owned a custom custom, it definitely suits that sludgy 90s rock sound and from what ive heard the pearly gates would compliment it perfectly

...as will a 59 set and many other pickups.

I don't know that I would call Peal Jam or the Foo Fighters sludgy.

I agree that a PG neck would match better with a CC bridge, at least in my personal experience. A PG bridge can sound a bit thin, to my ears, in an LP, but not the neck. Sweet tones and nicely balanced. I think you can try the CC in the bridge and see how you like it. It will balance find with a 59', PG, Jazz, APH II or a lot of other neck options.

Hi guys !!

Sorry I'm back late ! Thank you all for your advices ! So in summary, the combo could be fine for the sound I'm searching (thats a good news !) and some of you suggest me to consider PG instead of 59'. Indeed, the PG sounds very good, with softer bass and a more medium, I think. But it's also a bit expensive.

I think i'll go with the 59' and maybe later swap the magnet if needed...

PS : please, can someone explain me if I can swap a magnet despite my english level ??

Being a first post from a guy not sure of his English, he's not a likely candidate for changing out magnets.

Jokinnnng !

I'm fairly confident that swapping magnets is not an English language only activity. :fingersx:

Swapping magnets is easy. There should be many tutorials online. But you may just like it as-is.
