My Tobacco Premium Plus LP Classic Plus has had a JB and some whatever kind of neck pickup in it since I've had it. I bought it right after the first UGD. I've hardly played it because it's had those pickups in it, but I'm so lazy I never changed them.
Today I put a Screamin' Demon in the bridge and a Jazz Bridge in the neck. It sounds freakin killer!! I love it now. The Demon is pretty similar to the Jazz bridge, but it has more output and a few other things.
My Custom Shop Peacock Quilted LP Classic Plus has had the stock Gibson pickups in it since I've had it. That's been about 11-12 years. I never changed them because they actually sound pretty good. I figured WTF, I just threw a C5 in the bridge of it and in the neck slot I put that 10k Jazz Model that korovamilkdud gave me....the one he did at the first UGD. I figured since the C5 is around 14k or whatever, it would go well with it. Plus they're both alnico 5. I'm about to restring it right now and fire it up. I already know it's going to sound good because I left both E strings on the guitar when I swapped the pickups. I leave them on so the bridge doesn't come of and get out of whack from the way I had it setup. Just by dorking around with those two strings I could tell it's going to sound great!!
It almost seems blasphemous to me, but tommorrow I'm going to put the 10k antiquity I did at UGD and an Alnico II Pro in my Amber LP Classic Plus. I figure they'll go well together since they're both alnico II pickups.
I still have an Epiphone Les Paul with a Jazz/Jazz combo in it, so I'm still good to go with those pickups. Plus, I think that guitar actually sounds better with that combo than my Gibson does.
Expect some clips to be coming around here soon. It's been raining a ton here lately, and my work schedule has been all kinds of screwed up because of it. I figure that's a good reason for me to get off of my ass and start recording again. I don't think I've even recorded anything in about 6 years.
