I'm moving back the 500T to my Gibson. I like the Black Winter, but a Metal Les Paul is meant to have a 500T, IMO.
I kinda want to switch things up, and I'm thinking about dropping a P90 in a humbucker housing in there. I'm not sure which.
I used to have a Phat Cat way back when, but it was the neck version. I really liked it, but I only ever matched it with lower output pickups like the '59B, WLH, or PAF Pro. Never with a triple Ceramic monster like a 500T. I could use the Phat Cat Bridge, but even so, I suspect an 8K A2-powered pickup might not have enough juice to keep up.
I'm certain I don't want a P-Rails. I don't want nor do I need the extra options of having a thin-souding rail single coil or an unusably dark humbucker. Plus I think P-Rails looks kinda ugly.
So what are my options? Anyone try the new DiMarzio P90's? How about the Gibson P94? Any other options?
Thanks!
