Generally with the big brass block that comes on these you’ll want the large clamp type. Made that mistake myself a couple of weeks ago and ordered the small clamp by mistake. It won’t fit the larger blocks, those are meant for strats and import stuff with the small tremolo blocks made of pot...

Hey guys, thanks for all the answers on this. Looks like I'll be keeping the Gibson for now. The logistics just didn't work out on the deal so I am going to stick with what I've got. I think I am going to try a set of Duncan pup's and see what happens.

Thank you all for the replies. I'm still talking with the guy, he's all for it but I'm still on the fence.. The 408 is the one I was leaning more toward, it's sunning in blood orange, absolutely beautiful! He's sending me sound clips and they sound really good, nice and aggressive sounding.. I'm...

Good question, I think he said 07 or 08

Yes, rosewood.. Left out that important bit.

I have an eclipse original series and an m2 standard series, both with EMG's. I'm looking for something with passives for a different sound but just not so dark sounding. I play hard rock, not really metal but somewhere between Alice in chains and Metallica black album era. Should have...

I recently purchased a 2015 Les Paul standard. I really like the guitar but I am not happy with the sound of it. It's too boomy sounding and too weak sounding. The pickups are extremely low output and I can't get very much distortion from it. It's hard to word it but in general I am just not...

Actually I did swap the G&B's into the old Ibanez that the EMG's came out of and they sound phenomenal in there, I don't think I have ever heard that guitar sound better.. I guess they just weren't the best choice for this guitar.. but what do I know?

You're right. I tend to look at Gibson, they are known for some pretty good pickups, as is PRS. When I look at an LP studio which comes with Gibson pickups for $1,000 and then at an s2 with Korean pickups for $1400 I think, man if Gibson can do it why can't PRS? Then I remember the quality of...

Yeah, I was almost furious when I saw the back of the pickups.. They remind me of the cheapo Kent Armstrong pickup I bought for $30, I am sure they are made in the same plant. If Gibson, LTD, Ibanez, Epiphone, etc can put quality name brand pickups in their $500 guitars why the heck can't PRS do...

Hey guys, as some of you know I have had an issue with my s2 cu24 for a while now with it sounding really muddy and just generally bad. I have tried several different amps, modeling, solid state, tube and to no avail. I did a height and pole piece adjustment which helped but I never could get it...

Yes, that sounds like exactly what I am looking for! I want to be able to play a chord and hear the notes, not a blob of sound. I think I am going with these for sure, as soon as I get the coin!

I would be inclined to agree with you BUT I did play it through a couple of "good" tube amps, it's the guitar. I had a DSL100 that it sounded bad with, I have a video of that posted on this forum, I played through an orange. I was recording though a DSL15H and it sounded bad no matter what. My...

Hey guys. I think I have finally decided to give up on the pickups in my s2 cu24. I have had the guitar for a few months now and have had a constant battle with these things and I think I am ready to give up. I have nothing but mud and grief now. I did some recording tonight for my band's new...

It actually works out for me though, my s2 has the regular and that's the one I want so it's a win..
