To start, I recently acquired an '02 R8. Love the look, the way it plays, and
everything about it except... I have a number of vintage guitars, and this is
lacking a bit of the vintage tone. Now if I'm going to mess with pickups and
wiring, I'm more inclined to replace everything... Getting new CTS pots is
already in the queue, but...
Looking for a set of zebra pickups and bumble bee caps. Sound/tone I'm
looking for is along the lines of Billy Gibbons and Joe Perry. Vintage tone with
a bit of hair on it. Although Tony Iommi is one of my favorite guitarists, I'm
not looking for that level of saturated distortion out of this Les Paul.
So what humbuckers should I check out? And where can I get a decent
set of caps at a reasonable price?
I am sure this has been covered in other threads, but when I started digging
thru them with *search* the topics were too scattered and muddled...
Cheers,
