guitar pickups

| denver User Info... | couple questions about pickups, i have a strat and i'm getting a tele and i'm thinking about changing the pickups, on the strat i'm looking for hendrix or surfy dick dale tones, anyone know any good pickups for this? right now i have gold lace sensors on the middle and neck, they are solid but i think i want something hotter, did stevie ray actually use texas specials? or was it something else? And for the tele, i'm looking for radiohead type tones, anyone know what the lead guitarist for radiohead uses? i'm basically just looking for any info and any suggestions/recommendations of pickups that anyone likes oh and lastly, would my seymour duncan 59 humbucker sound any good on a real les paul? or an epiphone LP? I've jsut never heard of seymours being used on gibsons thanks a lot, Denver - Fri, 28 Jan 2005 11:37am | ||
| Zippgunn User Info... | Ah, the magic bullet for guitars, the replacement pickup. Duncans are very good as are the Lace Sensors. A warning here; if you want the Hendrix sound you will either need a Dick Dale strat or a left handed Strat turned upside down. This is because the pickup is slanted backwards (duh) which emphasises the bass. Also remeber that all the pickups in the world are wasted on a lousy amp. Or player. - Fri, 28 Jan 2005 12:42pm | ||
| cooper User Info... | I have the same guitar as Jonny Greenwood, lead guitarist of Radiohead. It's a discontinued Fender Telecaster Plus. It also has Lace Sensors, and the configuration is single blue in the neck, and two reds in the bridge as a humbucker, but it has a coil tap to split them into single coils. Red = hot http://guitargeek.com/gearview/527/ That pretty much covers it for his guitar, but here's the rest of his OK Computer-era rig. http://guitargeek.com/rigview/510/ Hope that helps! - Fri, 28 Jan 2005 3:17pm | ||
| Nat User Info... | please refrain from putting hendrix and radiohead in the same category. it hurts. - Sat, 29 Jan 2005 1:21am | ||
| denver User Info... | cool thanks yall, are these the same lace sensors that are on strats? or are there different ones for teles? hendrix would have loved radiohead - Sat, 29 Jan 2005 1:36pm | ||
| cooper User Info... | They're different for either the Strat or Tele, but it looks like the output & characteristics are the same. http://www.fender.com/products/show.php?partno=0036846000 http://www.fender.com/products/show.php?partno=0992000000 - Sat, 29 Jan 2005 3:47pm | ||
| Seymor '59 in tha neck User Info... | A SD '59 in your Les Paul will probably sound pretty good. I use one in the neck position of my guitar and I love it. Medium output, round full sound, good low end. Just remember, it ain't no soapbar, so if you're looking for that vintage tone stick with the Gibsons. - Sun, 6 Feb 2005 2:25pm | ||
