Hi folks,
I need your help with pickups
Long story short, I drifted away from my initial "music style" quite a bit and now I feel the pups don't give me the tone I need. They are stock MHS Gibson buckers fitted in my 59Ri ES-345. They are fantastic for those cleanish, BB King style tones (just my opinion) but if pushed harder they become a bit muddy with lots of smoothness. They seems to be quite low output then. No barks, no snarling, no creamy howls.
I'm really into early Bluesbreakers tone and all kind of british blues vibes. I even gathered Marshall 1962 Bluesbreaker for help and it rather don't like my MHS pups
By all means, I don't plan to copy Claptons beano tone nor making my ES to be a Les Paul. I'm rather interested in those ballpark of tones. I'm trying to get sweeter, howlier, barky tone with nice & fat mids while not sacrificing semi-hollow oomph.
I've never really upgraded pups in any guitar so my knowledge is kinda small. I was usually buying guitar if I liked the tone from the very beginning. I truly love this ES-345, for me she's fantastic in every case so there is no chance I get rid of her and I think that good pickups will do the job.
Any suggestions?
