I love the sound in this video but I'm not gonna buy pickups worth more than I paid for my SE. Is there a cheaper alternative that gets me close to this?
Thanks. It's pretty frustrating sorting out the various options by trying to listen to YouTube vids.
My interests are primarily 70s-80s rock, mainly ZZ Top, Van Halen, early Sammy Hagar, ACDC, Aerosmith, Ted Nugent etc.
About $110 and $125 for both together. There are several YT vids that describe both, if not together....
I decided to go ahead and replace the stock pickups. Stratosphere parts had some new takeoffs from a Fender FMT Tele for $159. Except it's a Pearly Gates Plus for the bridge, slightly hotter than the originals. Along with a 59 neck.
An SE what? Which model?
The stock SE245 pickups can play in the same sonic territory for very little $$. There are several models from the Guitar Fetish site that will also be in this territory for very litttle money. Otherwise, you can also find used Gibson BurstBucker 3s that are also well made.
The best prices I've seen are at least $150 and up for both, where should I be looking for those prices?
Sorry, I read your earlier post as 110 to 125 total.
LOL....I was wondering who would be willing then so cheap. Stratosphere buys new guitars and parts them out. I also found this one and almost bought it instead.
