schnarf Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 I'm making a custom built guitar. The neck is maple with two bubinga stripes and a pau ferro fretboard; the body wings (it's neck through) are mahogany. I'm trying to decide on pickups to use, there'll be one bridge and one neck, probably both humbuckers. I already have an EBMM JPM and I'm not looking for that kind of tone because I've already got it; I'm looking for something a little more vintage and fat sounding, which is why I made the body mahogany. I also will probably be wiring one pot to be pull so instead of mixing the two center coils in the middle position, it will be coil tapped for a single coil sound as on the JPM. So, anybody have any suggestions on pickups? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crafty Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 How about the MoJoe and PAF Joe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doeringer Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 +1 for a PAF if you want a vintage sound (like LP) jut I'm not familiar with the "joes". If you are on a budget, check out guitarfetish, he's a member here. I just put a Fat PAF of his in a knock off SG (mahogany) that was in for repair, and I liked the sound.

schnarf Posted July 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Thanks for the suggestions. I had been looking at Dimarzio's site and PAFs looked good to me, nice to see some confirmation. I think I'll be going with those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambo Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Why not go for something completely different and get a p90 at the neck? could get one of the humbucker sized ones so it would be easy to swap out if you didn't like it. S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
