Entwistle Pickups
« on: March 15, 2010, 09:31:11 PM »
searched about 10 pages back...you know how the search bar is.

anyway i've seen these mentioned in previous threads. marketed by artec on their website, available in TMS cubao/hifi lounge, these are supposed to be good value for money. i'm currently looking at a pair of HV58's for my les paul. i'm not exactly sure what store policy is about trying out pickups, lol

experiences? thoughts?

i agree with the HDN. one glassy humbucker, pero hindi brittle...
:D

tried it for a few minutes on my rg120, kasama na kasi nung nabili ko.
kung mahilig ka sa harmonics, this one's for you.
gave it away to our other guitarist though kasi di ko naman na magagamit. fitted my rg with dimarzios right after.

Just recently bought one HDN humbucker for the neck position, still waiting for the Darkstar though.

After much deliberation, we decided to haul in the Artec Giovanni GCH-1 and GCH-2 rather than the HV58 (at least for now.. maybe I'll bring it in later)..

..cause the GCH-1 is a few notches cheaper than the HV58. both almost have the same specs (except that the HV58 has twin-row adjustable pole pieces). I believe the GCH is a little louder than the HV58 though.

regarding trying out the pickups; I always send one guitar installed with a set of pickups. Although they don't stay long in the store cause they get purchased din.. :D

anyway, just standby for updates. the cargo hasn't arrived yet.  :x

GCH-1 with chrome covers? oh, that would be the GVH-1.   :-)

No final prices yet.. but they're just worth around the average prices of those entry level Nokia phones  :-)

I recommend the Dark Star for metalheads...  :-)

As I have observed, showband axemen dig the HDN.. I guess it's because of that single-coil-ish tonal character..

if you'll ask me, I like an XS62N on the bridge, then GCS-1's for the neck and mid. Mas makalansing kasi ang GCS-1 in those two positions  :-)
