Pickups: Bill Lawrence vs Seymour Duncan?

Re: Pickups: Bill Lawrence vs Seymour Duncan?

You can bring the heavy with an alnico 2 pickup. The JB2 is one of my favorite hard rock/ metal pickups. It's all in how you dial your amp in. I have no issues with being very heavy with my Slash set. Of course the EVH 5153 that I plug into helps.

Well there goes my upgrade money...

Gibson just dropped the prices on the SGJ by $100 to $499, so couldn't pass up an American made Gibson SJ for only $500 brand new. This also solves my problem as I can keep my Les Paul stock and use the hotter pickups in the SG for my higher gain playing.

Once I sell one of my spare guitars, will use that money to upgrade both of my Gibson's. Will put the suggested 59n(A4) & 59b(A8) into my Les Paul and a set of Bill & Becky pickups (L500R/L500XL) into my new SG. Those two guitars should cover all sounds I want.
