I'm looking for a couple of "Rails" type or Noiseless pickups. I currently have a generic single coil in the middle and a Hot Rails in the neck of my 540R. I can't take it anymore.
I'm either going to move the HR to the middle and use a brighter neck pickup or change over to DiMarzios.
I don't really have a set idea of what I want to use this guitar for, other than a great all around rock guitar. I'm open to experimenting a little with it. I know that the HR cannot stay in the neck though, it is just too dark for this particular guitar.
I figure that if I am looking for a specific pickup combination, I won't be able to find it. If I have more options, I am more likely to find something astounding for my guitar!
Here's the list, I only need 1 Duncan or 2 DiMarzio. I'm only looking for black pickups.
I have both Duncan and DiMarzio bridge pickups for this guitar, so either brand will work:
According to DiMarzio's Pickup Picker, any of these will work for what I am trying to do:
Chopper neck
Pro Track neck
Air Norton S neck
Injector neck
Virtual Vintage Heavy Blues 2
Seymour Duncan Tone Wizard says:
JB Jr Neck
STK-S2
Cool Rails
Quarter Pound Flat
Fellow Board Members say:
Duncan Parallel Axis stacked humbucker
Little 59
I have quite a few trades also, if anyone is interested:
TB-4 Duncan JB - nickel cover - Alnico 8 magnet (8" wire, white bobbins under nickel cover, missing a tiny piece of the bobbin so I installed the cover, Duncan logo on bobbins)
Gibson 500T - black - single conductor (lots of wire left, pickup has a few scratches, but nothing very noticeable)
Mahogany JS replacement body from Nate Perle - painted Black Pearl like a JS1000 - body in near mint condition, needs wet sanding and final clear coats
