Recommend some good guitar pickups?

[Halt]

Hey. I have acquired a Washburn BT-2 Maverick Series. Just about everything is wrong with it.

I just found a replacement neck for it, so now I need a couple pickups. all the little shit can wait.

What's good? Like, not TOO pricey, but not cheap either.

Helpful to know what style of music you like to play. Unless you're looking for "all-purpose" pickups.

All-purpose, since I like a lot of different styles. Its an old guitar so I don't really plan to use it for much then just whatever.

do you know vaguely how much you want to spend? you could spend anywhere from $60 to over $200 on pickups, so you might be able to narrow your search a bit if you really cap how much you're willing to pay.

i realize this post is absolutely unhelpful and i apologize.

Naw, its absolutely necessary. I do the same for people when they wish to build PCs

I did find some Seymore Duncans: http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/Seymour-Duncan-Hot-Rodded-Humbucker-Set-?sku=300030

But iunno, no more then $150 tops. a little less if possible.

I love me some DiMarzio Evolutions for a balanced tone.

Our sigs are too similar. TWINS!

The Satriani combo will give you a good base tone to work with. It should work with most styles of music.

Dimarzio PAF Joe in the neck. Dimarzio FRED in the bridge

Dimarzio makes quality gear that will give you a good range of options. I second any of those recommendations.

I think I might go with that Sat Combo, I've heard good things, maybe I'll get those Seymores for my Cort.

Thanks guys. I'll probably make a project thread and update it as I go along with restoring This Washburn BT-2. Just in case anyone is interested.

and learning to install my own pickups will save me a lot of money.

A combo I went with was the Petrucci setup. DiMarzio Crunch Lab the bridge and Liquifier at the neck. Petrucci's style is inspired by the likes of Satrianni I think. They have similarities except Petrucci is much heavier than Joe.

Get a Tone Zone in the bridge. Norton fort he neck.

Seymour Duncan SD6, holla.

Idunno about the Satch combo. That bridge pickup is pretty much what makes Satch sound like Satch. Almost like a wah pedal stuck halfway up. The typical Seymour Duncan setup is a JB in the bridge and a Jazz in the neck. Good setup for all styles of music. I liked it in my old Les Paul.
