hey guys. this place changed since the last time i was here haha.
anyway....

i was wondering what are your favorite pickup configurations for like that bluesy classic rock type stuff?

Seth Lover's, Antiquities, or '59's

Depends on the guitar.

For my Tele, my fave combo is a Pearly Gates in the neck and a Hot Lead for Tele at the bridge (that's in my thinline).

In my LP, hands down the Pearly Gates set.

In my Hamer, I've liked the APH/Custom combo the best.

In my Strat, APS-2's all around.

In my Sheraton, I'm torn between the Seth Lovers and the Phat Cats.

Phat Cats are my favorite for that stuff.

As Benjy says, depends on the guitar. I favour Les Pauls and therefore humbuckers....

As Jeff says, Seths, Antiquities and '59s are all great. Alnico II Pros are excellent too. Depends on the tone you are after. Ants are warm, '59s are bright. Seths and A2 Pros sit somewhere in the middle - to my ears the Seths are slightly warmer.

The other likely candidates, humbucker-wise, are the Pearly Gates - I haven't tried those.

Well for me I know I can play classic Rock to old school metal with the 59N/C5 in my McCarty, The C5 splits real nice so I can get a few other styles as well!

Tele- Broadcaster / 5-2 nashville
Strat - SSL-1's Or Antiquity Texas with a Twangbanger Bridge and a quot;Neck On Push Pull switch.
Les Paul-- Pearly gates
335 - Seth Lovers

Prolly a 59 set.

bump.

Being mostly a humbucker guy, Custom Custom / Jazz neck. That combo just works for me in whatever I'm playing be it blues, classic rock or heavy metal.

dimarzio virtual PAF set
these are better than the 59's overall

seths

59s neck, JB bridge

I have Seths in my Gibson LP, Screamin Demon'/Pearly Gates in my Epi LP and a set of Antiquity 1's in my Strat.

They're all good for classic rock in my opinion
