Re: Help identifying my pickup
THe Allure: They sound like no other pickup... And yeah, you tossed about 400$ out the door :smack:
But if it sounds like a ´59, it´s almost certainly not a DF... Do you see one magnet or 3 looking from the side? Dirty Fingers have 3.....
I´m starting to think it´s maybe a modded 490 / 496

T-top? Still sounds low for output. Modded somethin or other if only one magnet.
And the ONLY guy who ever got a good tone from a DF IMO, is John Sykes. The Gibson 500T/496R combo was put on the market to replace the DF cos people hated them so much.
Zerb,
heh...alot of gear we hated in the 80's is now all the rage. And the stuff we loved back then is now less desireable.
I used to buy brand new Les Paul Standards for less than a grand. Gibson was havin a tough time up against your preferred brand and Ibanez
Marshall 800 channel switchers were all the rage, and no-one wanted the standard MV heads (including myself). People didn't want old Ibanez Tubecreamers and Boss Analog delays or MXR Phase 90's. They wanted the "new" digital mulit-effects, ADA MP1's and Boss Heavy Metal pedals.

It's funny...I experimented with a ton of diff guitars/amps/effects over the years, but basically my ultimate gear has remained exactly the same...back when it wasn't very cool gear to have and now that it is: Gibson's into a pedal-goosed Marshall or Modded Marshall type amp with an analog chorus, and analog phaser.
