Why are you friends with someone who has a Gibson?
A fair question...
{Casi1 will respond once she thinks up something clever that doesn’t out me.... cough cough sneeze, excuse me, HER (not me) as owner of said Gibson}
You know I’m just playin’
I have (and had) some Gibson pickups in PRS but never the other way around. What’re you thinking of putting them in?
I know you just playin...
So a cheap but awesome sounding/awesome feeling LP fell into my lap. The LP is kinda bright so I have some BK Abraxas pups coming BUT if those don’t work out, I’m thinking about putting my one remaining LT in the neck with either a BK Mule, BK Abraxas (bridge), or a mean @ss BK Black Dog.
Aside from the LT, my only other unused PRS pickups are McCartys, and a 85/15 bridge. I really want the LT to find a home in one of my guitars. It looks so lonely sitting in a cardboard box with its lil conductors not attached to anything... poor little thing.
I’ve bought a couple SE’s for lonely pickups, so I know what you mean.
For a bright guitar my first choice would probably be some 53/10’s, but then you’d need to buy like, three or four new guitars to keep your unused pickup’s self esteem up.
...The LP is kinda bright ...
Yeah it’s a full time job trying to make these unused pickups feel loved and shyt. I could say ‘I am done acquiring guitars’ but y’all know I’d be lying.
Since we’re in the spirit of sharing, who here has put a Gibson pickup in a PRS?
I’ve wondered how my high impedance prototype Les Paul pickups would sound in a PRS. They are bad boy screamers.Since we’re in the spirit of sharing, who here has put a Gibson pickup in a PRS?
Before you hyperventilate after the 20 second gasp, I’ll admit, I have. Didn’t stay, but it didn’t suck, either.
The HFS did NOT like my Les Paul. At all. Period. Paragraph.

So... I’ve made a decision based on your input. I set up a cheapo amp for clean and put an overdrive pedal in front of it. I rolled the amp volume up then the guitar volume down. I then tested my SE with 53/10 neck then I tested my McCarty with the LT neck. They both sounded good: the 53/10 was clear/warm/thick while the LT was clearer/more articulate/crunchier. The downsides were that the 53/10 wasn’t as articulate or dynamic as the LT but the LT was kinda thin sounding in comparison with the 53/10.
The answer is: buy another cheap but awesome Gibson to put the LT neck in.
That’s right.
Buy another guitar was my answer. Trash the pcb pickups and put the lonely nice pickups in the cheap but nice playing nice feeling nice sounding guitar. All for the price of a new S2 Custom.
I just wonder how the LT will sound in a thick guitar with a thick maple neck...
