Les paul Pickup upgrade and magnet swap (Seymor Duncan 59 and Pearl Gates)


Les paul Pickup upgrade and magnet swap (Seymor Duncan 59 and Pearl Gates)



Hello friends, Its a humbucker pickups upgrade. I've got tired of my Burstbuckers (not pro) 1 and 2 copy, then I bought a Seymour Duncan Pear Gates Bridge (A2) and a 59 neck (A5), I guessed the 59 sounded a little boomy (lot of basses). The end of the history, I've swaped the pickups magnets: Alnico 5 to Alnico 2.
Now I have a Pearl Gates A5 and a Duncan 59 A2. Showed at the video below:
