Who All Here Has Or Has Had Seth Lovers In A Guitar?

Re: Who All Here Has Or Has Had Seth Lovers In A Guitar?

Saw a set of these at a store here the other day. New, with gold covers.
A bit over $300 for the pair. Crazy.
That's crazy. I got mine for half of that.
 
Re: Who All Here Has Or Has Had Seth Lovers In A Guitar?

I had a set in my LP Standard for ages. They're my favourite Duncan pickups.
 
Re: Who All Here Has Or Has Had Seth Lovers In A Guitar?

I had Seth's along with vintage correct pots, caps, switch and jack installed in my Epiphone Dot.
I love 'em.
I'll put this guitar up against any stock 335 made in the last twenty - thirty years.

imagine how good those pups, pots and caps would sound in a gibson.:cool2:

The difference won't be night and day. And in the wrong hands, it's certainly possible to EQ a Gibson so it doesn't sound that great.

They came in the mail today.:) I'll put them in tommorrow. I'm too tired to tonight.

This reminds me of a good friend of mine who learned how to play guitar at the same time as me. We had an Allman Brothers cover band, and he had a tendancy to roll his tone to zero and get an ANNOYING woman tone with an epiphone sg special.

He since got a bachelors in jazz performance and plays a 339, I get smoked every time we have a jam session now as im miles behind him in skills. The guy can reharmonize any song in a modern altered format on the spot, play entire bach pieces, then lay out michael brecker sax solos with the right articulation. We both agree that guitar players are the least melodically innovative musicians compared to horn/piano players, we take cliches to the next level and keep raping them beyond the grave....

Had them in an LP, they came out faster than any other pickups I have put in a guitar. I absolutely hated them. They were thin and lifeless IMO.
 
Re: Who All Here Has Or Has Had Seth Lovers In A Guitar?

They are the one PAF set I haven't had direct experience with. I guess i always think I'll be playing Hack & Roll....so why bother.

I love the wood in that V Jolly. How does it sound unplugged?

Yes they are thin compared with a Custom. You need a different attitude besides power and crunch.
You get wonderful smooth and at the same time bluesy tones in the neck. With the Bridge you can do anything up to RnR and RnB. You certainly need overspec'd pots and decent caps to get the most out of them.
 
Re: Who All Here Has Or Has Had Seth Lovers In A Guitar?

They're best in a bright guitar. I had them in an Epi Ultra II that was fairly bright and they rocked in there.
 
Re: Who All Here Has Or Has Had Seth Lovers In A Guitar?

Had them in my LP. replaced with antiquities. Getting the Seths reworked and then into my PRS std 22
