Pickup suggestion for LP Custom

[LP Freak]

This thread is three years old. Hopefully he decided on a pickup by now

Thanks. The Aldrich is probably my favorite set in a Les Paul. Has been for about five years now.

Does it have more or less output than the JB?

Nah, he's still at GC Looking.

It's around the output of the JB. But feels less compressed.

I would also suggest the Fishman Fluence Classics. In the bridge, Voice 1 is sorta like a Duncan '59 Bridge and Voice 2 is sorta like a Duncan JB, except just better on both voices, IMO. Clearer and more refined.

I Have a Les Paul that is a little too tight or Anemic in the Low End.....what pickup would you guys suggest to fix that? I'm normally an active guy but willing to switch back to passives.

I think my answer for an LP pickup will always be the Aldrich.

I’m about the yank the EMG’s out of my Edwards LPC and replace them with Aldrich’s. I think….anyway…

Black belt, second degree black belt, the steckel Duncan sig model, don’t listen to steckels demo as he uses ABSURD amounts of gain smothering his sound. It’s a great pickup for a single cut. Fat, clear, defined and tight. Similar to the MCP black belts and 2nd BB.

Btw, is there anything around with the mids of a custom custom but less smooth?

I have a Duncan JB bridge in my Les Paul custom. I kinda hate it. Really boxy sounding. Looking for a little bit higher mid clarity and punch. I was looking at Suhr Aldrich. Any suggestions?

The SH16 59/Custom hybrid is a really great mid output pup with great clarity and punch.
For a more hot PAF the Dimarzio Fortitude has a great punch and smoky low end, maybe not the most defined tone but it’s got a ton of charm and hits like a hammer.

Wolfetones TimberWolf in the bridge..

Damn!!! They’re going in a black LPC with gold hardware, I’ve been missing the gold covers which is spurring the change.
