Hi there, I'm making a guitar and I was wondering what type of pickups/pickup combinations I should use. I'm fairly new to guitar pickups and I was wondering which combination would be best for me. I play a lot of rock, punk, grunge and occasionally metal and blues and I'm really looking for something that can play really gritty but can also sound really clean and clear if need be.

You just described a P90 pup.

 

[Scotty]

P90 is my vote also.

 

[Adcandour]

Agreed.

Now ask us which one and see what happens.

 

[BGood]

Agreed.

The black kind, it's darker. Or the cream kind that is lighter.

Get a P-rail with the triple-shot ring.

Looks like someone's just dying to try some pickups?

Another P90 fan here.

P90's + 2x12 + big bottle tubes + healthy dose of gain/ overdrive + hollow body + brass slide = OMFG

George thorogood on steroids

When I saw the subject of this thread, I thought Al Nico had passed away.

Def P-90s

2 p90's both on push pull pots. The push pull is to change the cap value. One cap value in normal position and a different cap brighter or darker when you pull the pot out

 

[BSTheTech]

Can you recommend some values to try?

 

[RBlakeney]

I would vote humbuckers with a split switch.

Why don't you just use the values Gibson uses in their P-90 SGs?

Even without the triple shot ring they can be cool.

Best of both worlds for P-90 & humbucker (Well three worlds with the rail setting.)
I have a P-90 in the neck & a JB in the bridge on my LP copy
Still nto sold on a P-90 in the bridge for my own playing--but some people do greta with it---and the P-Rail is a great option

I just read up on these and I have say, VERY COOL!


Has anyone here gotten much time behind these?
