Hello! I need some advice about humbuckers.... I saw a neat picture and bluesy nickname at your profile and I decided that you might be the right person for my question...

I want to find a mellow sound for blues,jazz and rock-a-billy (j.j. cale, melvin taylor, brian setzer...)

I have a hollowbody ibanez artcore and i was thinking about ibanez super 58 (installed on pat metheny signature guitar) but i want to check out too-I heard some good sounds from s.d.
Otherwise I play original american strat `79, so i want to find something diffrent but also good-i am aware that age does its magic so i do not seek a miracle out of artcore but something for stage performance quality of mentioned music.

P.S. I play from the heart but with these factory installed pickups on ibanez It`s imposible-eather they have too much output or too little-there is no point in beetwen-and i`ve tried everything-I lowered them,I lifted them but no point in beetwen-too much crunch on my fender deluxe or too little-but it`s cheap guitar, though made quite good-nice bodywork, vintage tremolo system and no string buzzing,but i figuered that pickups can`t be too good so I`m looking for a solution.

thank you very much, greetings from Slovenia;-gt;peace MaRe

Hi. Welcome to the forum.

For what you want, I would either go with the Phat Cat set or with the TV Jones TV 'Tron set. The Phat Cats will be very close to the osund of traditional Gibson P-90 pickups, but made to fit into a normal humbucker cavity. The TV'Trons will also be made to fit into a humbucker cavity, but will be very close to the sound of old Gretsch Filter'Tron pickups (that's what Brian Setzer uses).

Good luck.

Benjy,

Nice call

Jeff
