I have three main guitars that I really like - a Jackson SL3 with JB and Hot Rails pups, a Jackson RR3 with Invaders and my Epiphone Les Paul Black Beauty which has stock pups.
I quite like the stock bridge pup, and the neck one isn't too bad - but the guitar is so incredible to play that I'll keep it for good, so I'm thinking I should maybe get some new Duncan pups to bring it up to the same level as my Jacksons.
It has three pups, with gold covers. The SL3 does rock/metal, the RR3 does very heavy metal - I'm looking for something a little different for the Black Beauty.
I thought maybe an Alnico II for the bridge (for Slash type sounds), a '59 or Jazz for the neck, and a Phat Cat for the middle.
How would that all go together? The P-90 type make things a little more varied? I have to say three humbuckers seems a little less tonally varied than you might think.
