SO I'm looking into finally swapping the pickups out of my Carvin DC727, which has the beloved C26 routes
and I am torn about what pickup(s) would be best suited for the guitar as I don't want to add too much top end to my tone.
Dimarzios are the preferred brand i want to go with because they are relatively cheap and so that they will save me routing my guitar
but if there are better suggestions that would be worth it I'll look into getting a dremel
It is an All walnut guitar, walnut wings, walnut top, and 5 piece walnut/maple neck, ebony fretboard and stainless frets. Although it is a fairly bright and snappy guitar, it still has a lot of bottom end and midrange in it (maybe because it is on the lighter side of walnut guitars) The kind of sound i'm looking for my bridge is something with a great low-mid crunch almost, with a lot of clarity and not too bright and nasally. For the neck I want liquid smooth leads with a lot of warmth and fullness to them but not dull sounding.
I run this guitar into my POD HD pro, then into an SLA-1 Power amp, and then out of a bugera 4x12 and two monitors for live/band practice, and at home I just run the pod straight into my KRK's
Any suggestions would be great! I think the CL/LF combo should work but the illuminators peak my interest... but then again almost anything is on the table haha
