Strat Style Guitar
Which guitar pickup is best?
Hi, I have a Strat style guitar with H-S-S pickup configuration.
There is a seymour duncan sh-5(duncan custom) in the bridge and two GODIN gs-1's in the middle and the neck. What pickup could I place in the neck to pair with the sh-5?
I do not want to change the SH-5 in the bridge. I want to change the GS-1 that is in the neck. What pickup would go best in the neck to be in agreement with the SH-5 that is in the BRIDGE
The SH-5 is an excellent humbucker. Seymour Duncan makes top quality humbuckers, and if you wanted to buy that humbucker it would cost around $80 at guitar center. So, the question is, are you looking to replace it just to replace it or are you trying to get a specific sound?
The 2 things you should keep in mind if you do replace it is that you want a passive pickup and you want a bridge humbucker. Humbuckers for the bridge and humbuckers for the neck vary in ohms (how hot they are). Bridge pickups are much stronger than neck pickups because the strings vibrate less in the area they are picking up.
If you do want to replace the SH-5, make sure to unsolder it at the switch, don't cut the leads. You can sell that pickup on Ebay for between $35 and $50, but it will be worth less if the leads are cut. I would suggest the Seymour Duncan JB pickup for the bridge or Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates. Those are 2 of the more popular pickups and are excellent for tonal qualities. However, your decision should really be based on what type of music you play, and what sound you are after. Strats are versatile guitars. If you have a guitarist you really like, you can try looking into what they use or if they have their own pickup. Some artists that do are Petrucci, George Lynch, Dimebag Darrel, Jeff Beck (thats the JB), among others. Duncan distortion humbuckers are also excellent. Take a look into some other brands, DiMarzio, EMG (passive's), Carvin, Dean, Lindy Fralin, all make excellent pickups as does Fender. (you can affix 2 lace sensors together to make a lace sensor humbucker.
Good luck in whatever you get!
