Pickups for a les paul & a modern strat

[octavio_amzer]

The idea here is that the Les paul should sound on the vintage hot side and the modern strat mmm... must sound modern.

both guitars will be used in Eb standard tuning and BOTH must be VERY versatil players. Playing heavy metal, Jazz and clean fusions.

neck and bridge

thanks  :)

What BKs do you already have? I've been batting 1,000 with suggesting pups that the OP already owns this week!

Thanx!

Well, for the LP I would definitely go for VHIIs.

For the strat ... are you going to put a humbucker in the bridge?

If so, I would do Holy Diver or Nailbomb and 2x Trilogy Suites.

both guitars use Dual Humbuckers.

what is the difference between Mules and VHIIs?

[TwilightOdyssey]

The Mule is probably a touch more transparent. The VHII has more grind, but only just.

I'm gonna jump in and recommend Crawlers for the LP: vintage-hot, like the Abraxas, but with a bit more mid-bump in the bridge pup to cut through the mix, and very versatile from clean jazzy tones up through roaring metal. I remember Tim saying that he sells lots of Crawlers to working, gigging guitarists who need a wide-ranging pickup that sounds great across the range.
