Hey guys, so to make the long history quick, i have in my new signature guitar two pickups now, the bareknuckle "the mule" on the bridge, and the seymour duncan "alnico pro II" on the neck, i had those pickups in other guitars and they are two of my favorite pickups, i thought they would get along just fine because both are vintage output pickups specified as the classic 59 gibson PAF, but it turns out that they are not balanced well, the SD has more bass freqs, is not as bright on the highs and have some sort of mid rangy punchy sound, i really like it on it's own, now the BK has an amazing high end definition, punchy but sparkly sound, and a bit of less gain in the output.
i really like both, but one has to go, i'm doing one of these two sets: SD would be, pearly gates on the bridge, alnico pro II on the neck. BK would be two "the mule" together. what do you guys think?, both sets would be fairly similar, the BK a bit brighter and softer and SD a bit darker and a bit hotter. The SD is about $50 cheaper.

Well, I'm not sure man, now comes the time for some experimenting, try it and see how it fits. BN pups are hand wounded yes? If so, they should have more natural sound, but these are all finesses, just depending on what you like. Not sure if anybody would notice it (or if they do, if they would have the same preference). So, try it out if you can, why not

Oh! that guitar is so beautiful!!
I would go for the SD because I'm a big fan of Slash sound.

So many pick up manufacturers so little time.... Tim at BK will help you get exactly what you want. Alot of people swear by WCR Crossroad set or Godwood set I'm looking to swap the pick ups out in my Burny Lp in the future and there are so many choices and opinions BK Rebel Yells Suhr Aldrich Motor City Detroiters WCR American Steele It hurts my little brain -------------------- My SoundCloud
