i put a duncan 59 in a les paul type very light guitar...washburn idol,but it cant cut it for heavy distortion lead solos....too thin sounding on the high E and B strings and over bassy on the low strings.
i need an alternative pickup for the neck,maybe a air norton?
suggestions are welcome!!!

Have you tried adjusting the pole pieces to bring more balance between the low and high strings? That could help.

When using a 59, sometimes it may be helpful to raise the bolts on the 3rd and 4th strings and lower them on the others for a little more balance. As far as output goes just boost it with a SD Pickup Booster and you'll be fine for soloing.

i need a translator for this quot;raise the bolts quot;AND quot;adjusting the pole piecesquot;...dont konw what this means.
also if i put in a booster like the one from duncan wont it cause the guitar and amp to feedback like a *****?

Pole pieces are the screws on the coil of the pickup on one side below each string. I think he's referring to the same thing by bolts. You can raise them with a regular screwdriver.

thanks man.
i will do research on google as to adjusting pole pieces
