GREGMW Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Hi, I am going to build a "Hybrid" Tele and was considering using some Symour Duncan 52s pickups. I wanted a classic rock/country tone. Any suggestions on any other makes/models that would give me that tone. Would I be kind of paying extra for the "Seymour Duncan" name with the 52s as they are a lot more expensive than other brands that I have seen? Any Australian brands that anybody knows? Any web sites? Thanks again. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curtis P Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 the SD 59's are what I got for my Jackson Tribute, and when i went to seymourduncan.com and tried them out, the sound was amazing, nice clean and distortion, I really recomend these pick ups other then that, maybe EMG's Curtis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanKirk Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Bill Lawrence all the way http://www.billlawrence.com/ I agree. Very reasonably priced & great customer service for an excellent product. Becky & Bill Lawrence are true professionals when it comes to picking the right pup for the sound your after. Just give'em a call. They'll even steer you to another pup maker if they don't have what you want. Just be sure you go directly to them because there are alot of rip-off 'Lawrence' pups out there. The real thing can only be ordered direct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
