Replacing an alnico 5 with a ceramic magnet tone

Actually, wasn't that back when Brendan Small was using EMGs still?

Ironically, he used a Burstbucker (1 + 2, I think) set in the Thunderhorse Explorer.

I didn't say it was a ceramic pickup, remember there's various effects that are on those guitars that make them sound similar to what a straight ceramic through distortion would sound like. That crunchy sizzley sort of sound.

With all the examples of ceramic pickups on record why would you link one that wasnt ceramic as a representation of one? I get it its the same sort of tone... but why not just find a ceramic clip?

Because I was playing more off of the "audience/hate" theme and being tongue in cheek about it.

Try a Custom Custom.

...and a RTM.

Ha! I'll have to give those a shot sometime! I have one guitar project in the work for a set of Bill'n'Becky L500's and then I have another set of a B'n'B L500 and two BLUSA L250's to put in another guitar project...so I've got two projects ahead of Y'all's recommendations

Btw, any wood recommendations for those? (I currently have Mahogany, Basswood, and Walnut bodied guitars so I was looking at doing an Alder and/or an Ash body guitar sometime in the future...)
