H-170 pick ups

[strings2wood]

Just curious as to what you're using and why?

 

I'm open to all suggestions-

I own a CS '56 Strat and CS '57 Tele-

they would always be my single coil choices but I'm open to p-rails or straight humbuckers.

 

What are using and why? clips would be a bonus!

 

Thanks folks!

Is there something wrong with the ones you've currently got?

I Do have to say if I had a Custom Shop Tele and Strat, I wouldn't mess with em..But they're your guitars..

from what i've heard, p-rails. wonder if the body could handle seymour's phat staples! otherwise anything you'd like to hear in an SG...

Not at all,

 

it's just if i want single coil sounds- I'd be more inclined to use the strat and the tele rather than a split coil-

 

However- P rails would give the flexibility of humbuckers and a p-90 sound

which might be a range/ flexilbility that could be interesting- that's all-

or just have humbuckers for the 170,

hence I was curious if someone had THE best humbucker suggestion based on experience.

 

p.s. i have no intention of selling or changing the single coils in any way,

in case someone thought I was wanting to change those pick-ups.

 

Cheers,

love the sound this fella gets with p-rails in an h-140:

 

my Chapin t-bird (think tele) has a neck p'up w/a Chapin Beelzebucker strat-y + p90ish coils selectable either way or both as a 'bucker. (gotta do a clip one of these days)

It's just great isn't it....this clip is GREATLY responsible for getting me excited about and then buying my first Heritage.

 

Just a great tone all round.
