LP Traditional 2018 Pickups

[mark_knopfler]

i have a Les Paul Traditional 2018, non-weight relieved body , i like it a lot,
i thoth about installing a new pickups to get this sweet PAF 58-59 sound,
i have now the stock pickups, BurstBucker 1 and BurstBucker 2 and they are sound very good, but still somthing is missing,

i am thinking about the the MojoTone 59' Clone Humbucker Pickup's set ,
anyone tried this pickups on a traditional ?

do you think is it an upgrade or not for getting close to the PAF sound ?
i have a good deal for them - 170$ aged nickel set

what do you think guys?

thanks

You might be headed down that legendary rabbit hole. I've done that many times myself, seeking the tone I think I want to hear. Many times I put the original p/u's back in. I actually like the bb1 and 2 pickups. Just make sure you save the original pickups for future sale, or in case you want to put them back in. I would recommend Duncan Antiquities for a replacement.

I kinda stopped going down that hole, for the time I'm content with Slashbuckers, BB1,2, and SD APH-2s on my LPs

Another fan of BB 1 & 2 here.

$170 for a set of Mojotone 59 clones is a good deal.

Recently installed a set into my les paul tribute and I like them alot better than the stock 490R/490T set. Compared to burstbuckers I'd say they are a little smoother and more balanced, but it really comes down to what you are looking to hear.

If it were me, and I wasn't 100% happy with my current pickups, I'd give the Mojotones a go and if they still don't get you where you want to be, you can easily re-sell them for what you paid.

Chances are good though you'll not be disappointed.

What is missing from the BB1&BB2 set?

Will the MojoTone set have what is missing?

Before you make the leap into new pickups, make sure you've adjusted the heights and (if necessary) the pole screws for volume balance among all 6 strings. Burstbucker 1 and 2 are toneful pickups and very much like the respected Duncan Seth Lovers in tone and output. I have both sets in two different Les Pauls and the BB 1 & 2 have a touch more “roar” and fullness to them.

I like the Gibson Classic 57/57+ combo.
