Re: Pickups for gibson explorer
So after getting the guitar, as I suspected I"m not in love with the BB 2/3 combo. The 2 in the neck is useable to me, but the 3 in the bridge...it's not that they sound bad, but just the voice/tone of these pickups don't do it for me.
The explorer is a big slab of mahogany which makes the guitar sound warmer/less bright and not as snappy as my other guitars. Seems that this type of guitar would benefit from pickups that cut well, with a brighter attack. So I'll be looking for low to medium output pickups that are on the brighter side. The guitar has this resonate kinda thick sound and would seem a pickup with a lot of bass would not be its friend.
