NPD: new pickups day!
Recently I purchased a used Epiphone "inspired by Gibson" LP Special. I really like the guitar but the pickups weren't quite what I wanted. So, I just had some new Seymore Duncan Antiquity installed. It's like night and day! So much more clarity and power.
I debated between these and some of the more boutique brands, such as Lollar, but these sounded closer on YouTube to the sound I was seeking. It was a great choice!20210418_005859.jpg20210418_005840.jpg

Todd, that's a significant upgrade! Those antiquity P90s must sound amazing. I have a couple of Gibsons that have P90s and they have their own thing going compared to single coils and humbuckers.
Are you going to keep the stock P90s? You should - put them away in case you ever sell the guitar and then just swap them back in. |

Congrats!
Didn't Seymour Duncan used to sign the backs of the Antiquity pickups? I have some in a pair of Crook guitars but haven't seen the backs of them... |

Love that little guitar! I'm tempted...
I put SD Antiquity HBs in my Epi Dot (with a vintage wiring kit) soon after I bought the guitar new in 2012. The stock pickups were good, but the tone transformation with the Antiquities was significant. Some of the best $ I've ever invested on a guitar. |
