Wilkinson WVC Pickups vs SD SH-1 PAF'59

[joflo]

Hi,

this is my first post on this Forum. I recently did a quick comparision of the Wilkinson WVC Humbuckers in a Harley Benton SC Custom LP-Style Guitar vs Seymour Duncan SH-1 PAF '59 in the same Guitar. Hope you guys like it and let me know which one you like best!

Welcome to the forum.

Of those two pickup sets in the white guitar, the SD '59s sounded better.

I followed on from your first video demo to some of your other ones. IMO, the DiMarzios in the brown sunburst JHS/Vintage LP clone sound better than either of the pickup sets demonstrated in the white guitar.

I would be interested to hear you perform similar tests using an Epiphone LP, LTD Eclipse or Yamaha Revstar. i.e. Anything Lester-ish in the £500 ($750) price range. I suspect that these would bring a noticeable improvement to your results.

Thx,man!

Sure i would like to test the Guitars you mentioned.............................. but.................................. i need to buy them therefore nder:

Yes, the DiMarzios are very good as well. But its hard to compare, because the Vintage LP is waaayyyy brighter sounding than the Harley Benton. The Harley Benton is a dark and bassy sounding LP-Style Guitar but surprisingly doesn't lack any frequencies in a full mix. Very powerfull.

BTW: the DiMarzio you mentioned is a MoJoe and therefore is a lot hotter than the PAF '59. But is on par with the Wilkinsons.

My take on JamTrackCentral Jam Of The Month January 2016, using a Harley Benton SC Custom loaded with Seymour Duncan SH-1 PAF '59 through Scuffham SGear Ampsim. Hope you like it!

A bit too white for my tastes.

Don't worry. You even get the guitar in black

It's interesting how throughout all social media platforms the Wilkinson PUs in my above comparision are rated better than the Seymour Duncans. Surprise!

Here is the comparision again:
