LP bridge pickup

[nhslim]

I have an Epi les Paul Custom, Peavy 1x15 Delta Blues and a Peavy Classic 30. Is there a bridge pickup that will give me the tone Santana's bridge pickup had on his Woodstock performance?
Thanks.

I'm not sure what guitar Carlos was using then, but my bet is it was something with vintage output.

The LP Custom can be a tad bright, so I would suggest something A2 like the Seth Lover, APH or even Antiquity.

Wasn't Carlos using a P90 in a SG Special at Woodstock? Carlos tone is in his soul and in his hands. He's all about tone and it comes from being who he is...just like it does for all of us. Lew

Yes my Les Paul will never sound like Jimmy Page because of what his hands can do with one, but My guess is there is a reason he doesn't use and Epi SG Special with the stock pickups and save a bunch of money on guitars.
