Epiphone '59 Les Paul bridge pickup replacement... BB3 sucks

[jeremy]

i love the seth, but if you think the bb3 is low output, youll feel the same about the seth

I have no experience with bb3s.

I suggested the seths as I have a set in a Hamer Monaco Elite (LP style guitar) and I love them in there including for the styles mentioned.

I've never had issues getting through the mix, I imagine because it has a decent amount of mids...in fact I was asked once if they were high output pickups. Take that for what it's worth.

i have a monaco elite as well, mine has antiquitys and it sounds fantastic! i have a set of seths in a washburn wms and they sound great too. i think the op might want something with more muscle from what he has said

I like the duncan custom and how it works in a les paul. And since it takes mag swap very well, it is my favorite bridge pick-up. At the Moment both my les paul have it installed. One C8 and one custom custom to adeguate them to the woods. The second favorite pick-up in a les paul is the superdistortion. It may give you a darker sound but with the right pot you can have it sounds good. One more suggestion: the hybrid. I don’t like high output pick-ups because they are too compressed to my ears
