LP FADED DOUBLE-CUT

Yeah, just newer pickups in general- like, ones that were redesigned- sound muddy and gross to me. I really like the Gibson American humbuckers, and whatever they label as '58.

if you're ever in Nashville or Chicago go play some vintage gibsons at Gruhns or CMI and wake up to what the humbucker really sounded like... also remember the gretsch and guild made their own hum cancelling pickups that work under the same principles as a Gibson but sound completely different. wanna talk low output pickups? a filtertron is below a vntage fender strat pickup, open and airy, super spanky, tons of punch with just a little low end compression character from the 2 coils summing.

that sounds awesome. thanks for the advice.

... perfect for a guy from UG.

I'm not sure I get that Terry

that sounds awesome. thanks for the advice.

nothing against the P90, just saying that even with heavy duty shielding its not a practical stage guitar unless you are a big touring act with your own FOH guy who can minimize the hum at the desk... and its not as distinctive as all that! I mean, the thing is, in pickups thr output is more what connects to an audience member than the tone.... hot pickups do a certain thing that says modern rock and low output types tend to say 'old-school' to the audience and that's about as much as they're getting, the rest is for YOU and is more a matter of how you want to connect with your amp and speaker(s) regardless of settings... I find certain speakers are all about hot pickups even for clean sounds while other drivers really don't want to handle a thick, modern pickup design but they fatten up weedy old designs

for recording purposes I tend to have a little bit of everything transducer (pickups and speakers are both transducers) I'm into at any given moment.... different magnets, different wire, different cone resonant frequencies, different outputs and DCR ratings and different efficiencies and different complimentary enclosures... it enver hurts to have some wiggle room with your signature sound and maybe be able to create a sound that 180 degrees from what your signature is.... but it takes years of collecting and curating to get here

A caveman guitar for a guy in a band called UG. (Ug was listed as top 4 most popular caveman names, behind: Grug, UGG, and Fuck look out behind you)!

I thought by UG you meant ultimate guitar

I woudla thought Og would be more popular than Ug for some reason, but Og and Ug both oughta play a Jr! they make the esquire look downright refined

oh hell no. pure narcissism here.

I am kinda disappointed they had a tone knob. TBH. would much prefer... Here is volume ...go!
