Does anybody use humbuckers?

Richard (errant_jedi) - 07 Sep 2004 13:44:11

My only other guitar now besides my SGV 800 is a
Squier Vista Jagmaster, which has a Seymour Duncan
Distortion pickup at the bridge (the stock pup is
gone). This is a great pickup for punk and rock 'n
roll but it simply sounds too dirty for my taste when
I'm trying to play surf and it also makes a horrible
squealing noise when plugged into my Premier tank.
The neck pickup's output is very low compared to the
bridge's and turning the two on together doesn't
really take away the dirtiness of the Distortion and
kind of sucks a lot of the bite out of the tone.
I don't want to change the stock configuration of the
guitar, but I would like to be able to get a cleaner
sound out of it. Does anybody use humbuckers and/or
have any suggestions?
Richard
