hey guys in looking for a replacement paul to gig, with i bought a rather gorgeous plain top 95 vintage with 498 and 500 in it.really didnt care for them so in trying something different i opted for duncan slash al2's.not my favs.i just wanted something diff from pearly.s and jb's so here's where it gets good my late dad who got me into this wonderful world of guitars bought me a yard sale gibson .not a gear guy at all but knew gibby's fenders and such.turns out its a modded 66 melody maker complete with swimming pool route,for a pair of t tops, grovers home made pik guard but sounded pretty good .so i pulled the duncans out put in the the patent number t tops and my god in 40 yrs of playing have never heard a better neck pick up than this it literally changed not only the guitar but my thought process of pickups the way it rolls off the volume without losing anything in tone is incredible by far the best neck pickup ive ever had .a qwick note currently i own a57 strat 59 double cut jr 63 strat 66 tele 71 lp custom and about 25 others .in addition to these i have owned 57 paf goldtop 54 goldtop 61 sg lp 52 58 teles i guess what im getting at is i like to think i know a little about tone and its crazy i owned these t tops for almost 10 yrs without giving the a chance to shine.. will be looking for a pair to install in my partscaster tele thanks ....love the forum
