I'm still thinking I'll swap out the pickups in my S2 Semi Hollow and I'm researching my options.
The Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates seem like a good possibility. They're basically a vintage output PAF with a little more aggressive midrange. So I'm thinking (hoping) they'd be good at capturing the guitar's natural pronouced midrange quality that I like without being so hot that they'd smother the semi hollow sound. Basically on the rock side of the PAF spectrum without going over wound.
Or maybe I'm mistaken. Maybe since the guitar already has a pronounced midrange, maybe I don't want a pickup that's sensitive to that frequency because it'll become over hyped.
What do you folks think? Based on the Seymour Duncan audio files, the Pearly Gates aren't a whole lot different from standard PAFs. But there is a touch more upper mids.
