Old School Rock Tone

[ripsrv]

i have a 87 les paul studio, shes gave me a good run but it is time to put in some new pickups. the amp im running it threw is a mesa boogie markII 70's or 80s head{i got it use and they didnt know for sure...can any of you tell me who to send the serial # too to find out?} any ways she has 6l6;s on the el34's and 6l6's{one for lead on for clean} i keep the clean channel at a pretty high gain and the lead channel real light. so i basically the closest resembanlecn i find to my rig is a ted nugent style. i want to take her the next tep because the stock picups in her arnt given me exzactly what im lookin for. my sound is, now that i think of it, a lot like the darkness if any of you are darkness fans. i throw a eq pedal and a few distortion pedals in but im not that conserned with alot of gain i just want a powerfull oldschool rock tone with reall nice breakthrew lead tones. i was thinkin about the classic 57 gibson picups, or some gibson paf's...maybe paf's with a pearly gates/ or more agressiv pick up like that in the bridge. thanks abunch for any suggestions. the craig

I'll second that, hard to go wrong with that pkp.

There are others of course, but that's certainly a good starting point, and you can find them used for less quite often. I bought my two like that. On the classifieds.
