I ordered Fralin's pure PAF for the bridge and a Twangmaster split single for the neck of the guitar I built. Holy fucking dicks, I've never heard pickups that sound so musical and perfect. They do EVERYTHING. Legbear and I are on this low output shit, and I've never had more dope tone. The Twangmaster is the jangliest sumbitch on earth, I picked it because it was spankier than a P-90. WTF, I FORGOT, BUT LEGBEAR CAN ATTEST....THEY CAN FUCKING TAME A STOCK HM-2????????? Weirdest shit. Was getting real interested in tele shit, because of that butthole in that whores band or whatever, and this shit slapped me right outta that country music shit real quick. (Although part of what led me to Fralin was their dope ass telecaster pickups)
good pickups are good pickups...blooz lawyer or not...its all about how you use them
i have a couple of guitars with low output pickups...and they are my favourite for fuzz...i cant stand hot output pickups and fuzz pedals, they sound like ass to me. But low output or P90 into a fuzz pedal, and instant fuck yeah! (spanky Jazzmaster pickups are also sweet with fuzz, especially the pharaoh)
i do however prefer hot output pickups for distortion...i find hot output into a distorion pedal with the dirt backed off a little gets me the best tone...well best to my ears anyway!
