Heritage H150: ?'s on Stock Schaller Pickups?

[gt5litre]

Just purchased a 97 Heritage H150 CM that comes woth the stock Schaller pickups. Does anybody have any experience with these in an LP style guitar? I presume they are vintage-y, perhaps a little hot vintage.

Heritage offers upgrades to Duncans such as the 59's, Seths or the Antiquity's. Any thoughts or ideas? I play 80-90's alternative rock, Beatles and some Blues too.

I plan to give the stock pickups a good workout. I use a Rivera S120 amp, a Traynor YBA-1 and a Custom built 2X12 with Eminence Governors or a couple of Thiele 1X12's with EV's (the EVM 12L). I also have a Tweed Deluxe and Tweed Bassman I put together.

I've never used them, but I hear good things about them. Keep 'em in and give them a shot for a while.

I've got a 98 150, killer, killer guitar. The Schaller sound very similiar to a 59 but with more mids, they kind of remind me of a Joe Walsh tone.

I put an Alnico 2 Pro in the bridge slot, and a jazz in the neck slot on mine, I love them both, but will probalby try an A2P neck as well......oh yeah and I've got them in Dbl. Creme.

The only experience I've had with the pups is what I heard of Luke's before he swapped them out, so he's better information than I'd be. They sounded nice, though, from what I remember. Congrats on the new guitar. Not to try to hijack the thread, but what color is it?

I love mine too ...

over time I'd guess you'll want to upgrade those pups ... to taylor the tone to your liking .. but those are not a bad start .. enjoy!
