I'm in dire needs of replacing some single coils in my "S" word guitar... what's going to give me that vintage tone... here's the spec's on that guitar... it's an ASH body with a Birdseye Maple Neck and Maple fretboard

Bill Lawrence L200s (more vintage) or L280s (more even). Noise-free, killer pickups that are $40 a piece. (He makes the SCN pickups and winding equipment for that F-word company ... the 200s are similar in tone.)

G&L legacy pups - sold as a pair at G&L's website. Great vintage single coil tones.

Well, not enough info really. IMO it's the Fralins.

I totally agree... except this is a build up project... that i couldn't pass up. I got the Birdseye maple neck and 1 piece ash body for 200 bucks... it was a deal i couldn't pass up. other wise i'd get the Lee... I might later down the road...
