Title: anong bagay i-pair sa duncan distortion (bridge)?
Post by: m1k3 on March 07, 2006, 08:20:07 AM: i need help. my guitar has a duncan distortion for the bridge and a stock pick up for the neck. i want to change the neck pick up with another seymour duncan but i'm not really sure what's the best pick up to combine with the duncan distortion. i checked out seymour duncan's site. i read that the duncan distortion is often paired with a jazz model, when i check out the jazz model's specs it said that it is often paired with a duncan custom pick up. when i checked out duncan custom's specs it said a different model to pair with. it was confusing, i didn't get what i was asking for...
my guitar is a LP imitation with bolt on neck and plywood body.

i'm guessing that you're very happy with the distortion bridge on your guitar?

Post by: balta on March 07, 2006, 10:13:31 PM: kasi if true rock yung thing mo, like the other guy pair it with another distortion pup. I actually am selling one if you are interested. a jackson duncan distortion designed pickups for neck and bridge (pero i guess neck lang applicable for you in this case). i'll be selling it for 1.7k or cheaper if u want. thanks thanks! 09178012261

pero i also suggest mag jazz pickup ka for the variety of sound.

the duncan APH1 Alnico II Pro is the consumate blues pickup... I'm just not sure how it will do with the plywood body of your guitar...

the safe choice would be the duncan 59... it can do blues and metal...

the Jazz is also a good choice... it's duncan's most articulate pickup... and from what i've heard/read, the only difference between the Jazz and APH1 are the magnets.

btw, if you're strictly metal, get a duncan distortion neck.

rock on!
Title: well as far as i'm concerned
Post by: Overbending1 on March 08, 2006, 01:17:54 AM: ny duncan distortion is paired with an X2N. and that works fine with me. haha

for blues metal/shred yung guitar na nilagyan ko ng SH-6 pickups bro. ayos din yung SH-6 sa neck for solos pero medyo ma-mid yung tonal characteristics nya. Jazz or Alnico II Pro neck pickup pa rin :)

Not sure, but he does a lot of drop-tuning and has a very tight and compressed tone for rythmn... so I guess, if you want to go Duncan, then the DD, and Dimebucker (and perhaps Custom) will do fine for the bridge. I haven't heard of his new band yet, but the 59 neck or PG neck will do fine with those two choices.

Tremonti's PRS are mahoganies, so you will need bright pickups.

Post by: Red_Strat on March 09, 2006, 04:32:24 PM: Easiest way to go would be to get a PRS Tremonti SE. It' still friggin' expensive. :(
