Amazing upgrade for my Epiphone AFD Slash-Les Paul
These sound great- and give a perfect tone in all switch positions- Seymour-Duncan makes it so easy to switch pick-ups

I love my guitar again !

I changed from my stock humbuckers that came originally on my 1982 Gibson Flying V to these along with new pots, jack, toggle and orange drop cap. Wow !
The whole character of that guitar changed. The bottom has a lot more crunch and the mids/highs are really clean. I thought these pickups would be one dimensional but was surprised that they are so versatile.
And throwing some more gain at them, they remained clean sounding.
First Seymours I ever bought to change and I love em.

I bought them for my Epiphone ES-35. And they brought my guitar to life. I used orange drop capacitors with them. No more muddy neck pickup or twing bridge.

the pickups have a bright tone with out being overly bright they sound very much like my friends PAF humbuckers they were uncovered and the spacing of the pole pieces are 48 mm which require Seymore Duncan covers these were 2 wire conductors so you can only wire them traditional they can't be split they sound better than the Gibson burst buckers that came in my guitar

I was looking the a thicker sound in my SG and I found just that with these particular pickups. I enjoy playing the SG but I like the blues and the pickups that were in my SG didn't really give me the sound I was looking for but now it's right on time, thanks AMS for the timely service!!!

Better than Gibson '57 Humbuckers

Product Review
I have a set of these in a Gibson Les Paul that came with the 490R and 496T humbuckers. They were ok but I had a set of these SD '59 humbuckers in a Gibson SG I bought new in 1972 and they sound way better than the stock '57 pups did. Anyway I just ordered another set of these last night for my ES 335 to swap out as I feel these SD's are the best sounding PAF style pups out there. I have a collection of guitars from 1972 to present, always selling and buying new guitars and I just like these pups better than the stock pups that come in all guitars from then to now. I have not found a better sounding set of humbuckers and I have tried them all over the past 45yrs of playing and I still rock out on weekends with a Classic Rock and Blues band. Try these and I am sure you will like them as much as I do and they are not those snobby $300 pickups that sound no better.

Great replacements for stock humbuckers

Everything Duncan makes is high quality & these are no exception.
Have only had them for a few weeks, but my other Duncan pickups have been 100% reliable.
Bought these to replace the stock pickups in a Hofner Verythin. The guitar is heavy in the mids by nature and the Duncans smoothed out the tone considerably - it's like a new guitar. Just ordered another set to replace the 490R & 498T in my Les Paul studio - same issue- mids are too harsh.
