    Default What 'bucker would tap best...

    Looking to replace the stock Peavey humbucker on my Gen EXP and add a coil tap switch. I want something with a good classic rock growl (Seymour Duncan JB's seem to be recommended), but in single coil mode would give me some tele-type twang.

    Any suggestions, or am I once again wishing for too much?

    Option B would be to aquire an actual Tele, eh?

    Check out the stock Squier 51 humbucker...Modders are selling them for cheap. It's pretty bright for a humbucker...On the 51, it sounds like a Tele in "normal" mode and like a Strat when split.

    Yes, another vote for the '51 bucker! It's an awesome pickup.
    The Law of Gravity is nonsense. No such law exists. If I think I float, and you think I float, then it happens.
