anyone ever tried a Seymour Duncan SH 55

JLH · 04-28-2008, 04:33 PM

I was out the other night and saw a great band, the lead guitarist had smokin tone, at break I asked him what he had for electronics in his Les Paul as his tone was incredible!!!!
He advised me of an RS upgrade kit and that He had Seymour Duncan, Seth Lover SH 55 Bridge pickup, I realize that wood and technique all have a say in tone, however this guitar sounded like pure PAF old school tone, type.
He claimed that when this pup was installed, it did this.
So has anyone tried these or does anyone have these and if so, what was your experience ????????

I have a Seth in the bridge of my 2003 R8. Been in there for about 2 years and I don't think I'll ever change it.

Seths are excellent pickups. Keep in mind they are not wax potted, so if you plan on playing high gain stuff, squeel *could* be an issue.

SPAM to Jeff,

Here is something i posted a while ago in the classified section. This is comparable to Duncan's Seth Lover Model. If you want, we can talk about this one as well. Let me know. Of course i can do it for you in the single conductor braided pushback wire.
