Re: One and sadly.. Done..

For me the difference between vintage inspired pickups and something more modern largely comes down to feel. My main amps are Marshall Jubilees, so they have plenty of gain though not as much as a Recto / 5150 / Friedman / etc. I have a WLH set in my 335, a 59 & Hybrid in my LP, a Custom / Jazz set in my Explorer, and P-Rails in my SG. I find that the more vintage pickups have an airier tone with less compression than the Custom or P-Rails in series. The modern pickups are more compressed, but they have this really direct sort of punch that I find myself missing when I play one of the other guitars. If you haven't sold your Burny or Gibson yet, maybe try both of them and concentrate on how the feel of the compression or lack thereof works for you. After that it'll hopefully be easier to find what works for you in general.

If you decide not to keep your BKPs, I'd sell them separately from the guitar if at all possible due to their high resale value in the US.

Re: One and sadly.. Done..

Thanks again all for the great advice and well wishes. Trying to approach in a positive way. And yes, will most likely swap out the WLH set and BKs before selling. I'm just REALLY having a hard time getting motivated to do the swapping. Just got burned out over the years where I was rolling gear so much.. I kept the stock Gibby pups and will put those back in. Not sure what to put in the Burny. It had an EMG Zakk set when I got it, so may wanna keep that as an option. However, not sure how favorably it will sell if I put in some stock Epi pups or something.. The guitar is in fantastic shape and I think that probably anyone that would be interested in a Burny, prolly knows what a great guitar they would be getting.
Again, thanks for the kind words and replies
