My answer is: Seth. That's the one PU I can't imagine not having. Works in every kind of guitar I have, and for all the kinds of music I play. Just a great PU. I've got 5 or 6 sets of them.

An excellent choice. There's something a little magic about those. They don't work for me all the time, but in the situations where they do, they do it with a level of clarity and expressiveness that most other pickups don't seem to be able to reproduce.

Now when you say "No Custom Shop" does that mean I can't have something custom built or that i can't have ANY of the CS offerings?

Fact is, I'm coming after her anyway. Limit my choices will you...

No custom builds or shop floor jobs.

But you could have, say, an S-Deco or RTM, if that's your fancy.

This is a tough choice... I've not had many Duncan pickups I've stayed with long term.

If I knew how an S-Deco or a Brobucker worked for me I think I might choose one of them.

But of the ones I've tried, I'm gonna have to go with a Pearly Gates Bridge.

Bonnamassa Bridge

(if I can't have that, Nokie Edwards Strat/Humbucker)

(if I can't have that, just a 59BJ)
 
Re: If you HAD to choose

In my G&L Legacys, I dig the vintage-style singles, so it would be the SSL-2s, or perhaps the Antiquity Surfers (which I have never tried.) RW/RP middle, please. A Legacy is my Number One.

I my Lesters and 335s I could go with either Seth or Ant sets and be perfectly happy. Third place would be the Burstbucker 1 and 2 set.

To be honest, if I actually thought to answer FOR you, that's what I would've said on your behalf. LOL

Thank you. I'd like to be known as more than 'The guy who uses 250K's on his bridge HB's.' If you don't play metal or country, Seth's are a pretty impressive PU.

Oh, don't worry. We remember you by several of your "Strats flawed. Les Paul better" posts, too.

One day I need to get a set of Seths.

But you must realize... I'm a guy who has played some fairly heavy stuff on a sonic blue Tele with a three-saddle ashtray bridge and a Van Zandt Vintage Plus hanging off it, so I make things work. LOL But I play a lot of stuff all over the place and tend to prefer low- to medium output pickups. I think that's one reason why I picked the '59/C as my pickup for this thread because it's not a HOT pickup but it has heat. It's got some zing to the top end to cut through but has plenty of meat. And it works well with a Floyd Rose, which I seem to be gravitating towards lately.

Jazz Neck.

Its low low enough output to have great cleans and play with single coil stuff, but also is still a humbucker and has enough output to get a great distortion sound.

Pretty much any of the lowest output humbuckers would provide this, however, just with a different flavor.
