Tnks. you can get both with a set of gibson 496r(front) and 500t(rear) or you can get a set of duncan customs(that is the name...it is not a custom pickup)since the only place i know of to get gibson pickups is off ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Fruit Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 For true brian tone, you need Burns Tri-sonics, wired in series, through on-offswitches and phase switches. and a stack of Vox AC 30's and a treble booster and a British Half Penny form BEFORE decimalisation, which if i remember history right, was 1971????? Any who, burns tri-sonics will get you started! Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovekraft Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 For a little more Brian May vibe, add a switch so you can use the humbuckers in series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
