This is a classic P.A.F set modeled after the legendary tones of 1959. Very articulate with great pick sensitivity, AlNiCo-IV magnets give this set a flatter EQ so you could hear what your guitar actually sounds like. Very rich, woody tone, especially in the middle position.
I was looking to purchase new guitar but though I would delve into an bit of an upgrade on my Epiphone instead.
I purchased a bridge and neck scripture pick up (brushed nickel and zebra) along with the JP harness for my 2000 Epiphone Les Paul.
WOW! I knew there would be a difference but I'm truly blown away by how this has reinvigorated my trusty 20 old year old Epiphone.
The JP harness allows me to have wonderful single coil tones as well as the grunt of the humbuckers through my Orange Tiny Terror.
Oh, and they look damn good too.
Im made up with it.
Mark from Darkmoon was on hand over email every step of the way, with advice on what to purchase, how to install and has even been around weeks after the purchase to offer advice on new switch caps and pot knobs.
I couldn't have asked for more from the hardware and the support from the Darkmoon team.
Thanks to all and I would definitely recommend these products to upgrade your guitar, regardless of original spec!
Owned my 1987 Gibson Les Paul Custom lite for over a decade - (the previous owner swapped out the original pickups for some dirty dimaurzios so I swapped to Neck pickup from a Gibson SG studio and Bridge an EMG 81) played through an Orange OR120 - Apart from wanting to rewire the single-coil tap back up, I've long suffered from muddy mids. ) so I wanted a change!
Bought a set of the scriptures: one laser engraved, and one black pearl inlay.
Mark was friendly and accommodating to my custom request, and even emailed back and forth with me to find the perfect design. They look absolutely gorgeous.
And they sound even better! I'm really enjoying playing my smooth cleans on single coil in the middle setting, and get that strong bite from the bridge humbucker for solo'd leads. On all settings there is nice clarity and balance of the EQ. I no longer have use for my eq pedal. These pickups are not only stunning to look at, but sound just as sexy as they look...... vintage gold!
Good packaging. Quality finish and build with nice touches with the engravings which denote Bridge and Neck pick ups. Lovely tone when played.
Awesome products and Awesome services
Bought these to upgrade my Epiphone LP, but ended up moving this set to my Gibson LP Deluxe. These pickups are that good. I will order another set nexT week for the Epiphone haha. Also shout out to Rick for helping me choose the right set for my playing style, Darkmoon guys are LEGIT
