Yesterday I re-tubed biased and clean pots on friends amp and exchange he gave me this pickup. Thinking about putting it into my recently acquired Epi Lp I think I have seen someone also uses this pickup just seeking out thoughts on it. Also have a 59 that will put in the neck to match the black and creme.. neck pickup in the Epi is chrome I do like it though also like the 59 just going for match. The bridge in the Epi is horrible so it needs replaced.

Custom 5 at the bridge and '59 at the neck is exactly the combo I have in my Epi Elitist LP Standard. Love it! :AOK: :dude: :rockon:

Yes. I have three of the pots on my LP set up with push-pull switches. One for the bridge coil split, one for phase switch, and one to put the two pickups in series ("megabucker").
