...i have an eastwood corona (SG copy) that i am prepping for stage use as my only humbucker-equipped guitar.
it has decent pickups but, like many humbuckers, i find them a bit muddy and dark, lacking highs and somewhat dull and uninspiring on the low notes.
i don't want to drive myself around the bend searching for the ultimate pickup, but i'd love to hear some recommends from humbucker guys.
i'm not sure what i'm looking for. i definitely don't want high output, since most of my other guitars are traditional single coils. on the other hand, i don't want a humbucking pickup that sounds nothing like a humbucking pickup. sustain is, of course, important.
highorder pickups may be the way to go, as he seems to specialize in traditional humbuckers.
do i need to spend a lot of money to get a good quality humbucker?
