I just had a set of ThroBak ESG-102B pickups put in my 2016 ‘61 Les Paul SG. I bought it used through the Music Zoo and the previous owner had a set of ThroBak ER Customs in it. Way too powerful for the guitar (and my amp—plus they’re for sale now...see the classifieds or search for them on Reverb). So, I looked on the ThroBak website and found the exact pickups as God intended for the model SG and I couldn’t be happier. Very clear and articulate (once I set the pickups to the proper height—see Roy from RS Guitarworks thread on pickup height, incredible difference) on all volume levels but when on 10 they overdrive beautifully. I wonder what they sound like in a Les Paul Standard?
Please feel free to ask questions. But I want to write more later after I put them through their paces. I’ve only had them installed for less than a week. But, man...I can’t believe how good these are. The ER Customs were soooo strident and they killed the front end of my Friedman Dirty Shirley 40 Combo and my Tungsten Tweed Princeton. But, man! Awesome.
