Single Coils or Humbuckers: Why Do You Play What You Play?

[Pastasauce]

... I mean Adrian. Always think of him as Ash.

[bender]

I'd quite like to try Ash's Benderbucker - one pickup to rule them all?

I'm still coming to terms with it TBH. Each coil on it's own is terrific (the big coil seriously kicks arse) but I'm not 100% sold on both together yet. They're currently wired in parallel though so that could be why.

[mr_sooty]

Yeah I would think series would make more sense, turn it into a big kick arse humbucker.

My dual-humbucker Godin LG has a 5-way switch which splits both pups to single coil + dual volume/tone dials for each pickup... so you can blend neck/bridge in all kinds of ways. Love it!

If I had to choose one of the other though... I'd have to say singlecoils. Traditional Teles and Strats yum yum.

PS I let the Aerodyne Telecaster (P90 neck) go!... To buy the AC30HWH

I like lots of guitar sounds, but if I had to choose one... P90!

Yay, another LG - pics or it doesn't exist

[MogwaiBoy]

Awwww man, BG you know I have never posted pictures of my pedals, amps or gats... but you sir have forced my hand and now you must pay the consequences... may I present to you - a most blurry pic of the Godin LG-HB Signature model.

600 year old lake-dredged mahogany, yeah baby.

(When do we start a Godin Owners Club and have weekly pissups and stuff?)

[alanp]

I wouldn't push the 600 year old lake dredged part too hard, or someone will bring up what 40,000 year old swamp dredged kauri sounds like

Sounds good, then?

[MogwaiBoy]

I would have thought the "yeah baby" was a dead giveaway I was jiving my ass off with such a silly corksniffery comment : )))

Let's not turn it into one of those "How old's your wood then?" threads ;D

Mmmm dibs, hang on it looks just like mine . Once again it's my favorite current gat. About to mix up pickups in it though.

Since my Son keeps draining my R9/335/LP Junior piggybank, I am confident there is one of these little Godins in my near future. Do much like.
BG, I thought More Beer had God's pickups?

It does, they were literally created in his likeness. But I've always wanted to know what they would sound like in my LP.... I'm shitting that they'll lose their mojo and I'll never get it back Picking up some Antiquities from the other boss on monday though so thats whats going in on trial. If gods pups sound like shit in my LP I'm probably going to be found hanging from grafton bridge.

dude, though I've enjoyed my fair share of mothers milk over the years, I'd never actually buy a pickup named that. Or two of them even.
