Ok, so i just put together a maple bodied bolt on neck Flying v. I had not planned on doing it but i was looking around on ebay and i stumbled across a v body that i ended up winning for 28 bucks. Anyway i put it together with parts that i had around here and the pickups that i had were humbuckers from a Saga LP kit. They sound bad, the neck is extremley muddy and the neck is shrill but very powerful. What i am looking for is:
1. A vintage type sound that is perhaps a little hotter.
2. Preferably an Alnico 5 magnet
3. It must have a nickle plated cover(the guitar has a mirrored pickguard and looks quite good with nicle covered pickups)
Please tell me what pickup would do this for me. I dont care what brand either.Also i should mention that the guitar is wired with 250k pots, so please keep that in mind.
What i am thinking of right now is using a SD Seth Lover in the neck and a Golden Age overwound from StewMac in the bridge,what do you guys think?
Thanks!
