Guitar Humbucker Pickup

Guitar Pickup Question?

I want to change the pickups in my Les Paul out and I’ve narrowed it down to two options, but I’m not quite sure which one I want to put in.

My only debate is that I don’t think that the P-rail gives a true, full p-90 sound, but the P94 doesn’t allow me to have Humbuckers too.

Your assumption on the Seymour Duncan not actually reproducing the old Gibson sound is correct and dead on.
Not that I don’t like Seymour or DiMarzio LOL.

I have 2 old 1969 Les Paul Gibson so I know what I am talking about. One is stock and the other has DiMarzio on for the crunch and bite. One customer requested a job recently and we suggseted the Gibson P94 at the bridge. This would also give me a chance to compare with my stock Gibson. Surprisingly enough, the P94 came darn close (95%) , if not the actual ture sound, of the stock mini-humbuckers.

Your choice. Again, Seymour are cool and I use them often even on my old 1962 Strat. But, if you want to get that rare ‘69 sound, and the TRUE P-90 sound, Gibson P94 is the real deal. How can you go wrong when they are the actual creators of those original pickup ? They are closer to the real sound that P-90 Seymour by a wide margin.

And as for your last part of the statement that P-94 doesn’t allow you to have humbuckers is false. I don’t get that part. You can combine any pickups , even Gibson and Fender. The deal lies in the pots and Gibson use 500k pots vs Fender which use 250k pots. Still, both get be had and work properly together.

Good Luck !!
