Pickups to my liking

[What?]

I've been very happy with 57 classic plus in the bridge of an LP, it's gotta have 500k pots though, I've been so happy with it it's become my main gigging guitar. It's got a 57 classic in the neck position which is a bit dark but I'm planning on adding a .047k cap inline with it to filter out some of the excessive low end.

Same experience here with those pickups. If you add the cap to the neck anytime soon I would love to know what you think of it.

I've never tried a Custom, it sounds great in that demo. IMO the Custom Custom needs to be in an already bright sounding guitar. The CC used to be my favorite pickup until I started trying pickups other than SD and Dimarzio.

Seymour Duncan Invader vs Duncan Distortion vs Black Winter

My Explorer had a Duncan Invader in the bridge when i bought it and yup, it's a good one. The seller also gave me the 500T he took out but that will prolly go in something else.
