AL HH pickup swap

[lukather101]

Hi Guys.
Anyone swapped out their Al HH pups for a pair of Suhr Thornbuckers ?

I did it in my Stingray and it was a great improvement.

The thing about pickups is that each one will sound different depending on all the other factors of any given guitar.
Woods, build, the rest of the circuit, position of the moon, strings, etc... these all effect the final voicing. So the only way to find out is to try it...

I've totally considered the Thornbuckers in my HHAL. Just haven't had the guts to make the change... lol

It's just a few screws, a few wires, a set of new strings, and an hour or so of your time. (of course, this assumes you're comfortable with your soldering skills...). Totally reversible.
And check the pup color code charts first!

I might go for a Lollar "Charlie Christian" in the neck of mine!

Outstanding!

btw, my AL tele project is getting closer to completion. Still dialing in the complicated electronics and prepping for a proper pickguard. It's sounding very promising!

Used by guitar builders "who know" - james Dean Bradfield had some fitted and he really sang their praises - 'course I do get mates rates when I buy them for myself.
I have 2 Shed "Spud Special" Humbuckers awaiting installation in a project guitar of mine
